Legacy

By including Network for Animals in your will, you’ll be able to continue providing a second chance for abused and unwanted dogs and other animals. You can make your gift in any amount, a percentage of your estate, or specific assets. Gifts in wills, like other donations, can be designated for many purposes or given without restriction. At Network for Animals, we are committed to fulfilling your wishes and needs.

Your first step, once you decide to leave a gift, a sound move is to contact your solicitor to help you draw up your will. They will need to know that our legal name for legacy donations is Network for Animals Limited (NFAL), a registered not-for-profit organisation; this is the entity that will receive your donations. NFAL is a not-for-profit company but is not a charity. Network for Animals Charitable Trust (NFACT) (registered charity number 1142700) is a charity that is also part of the NFA Group and operates to support charitable projects through legacy donations. If you wish to leave NFACT a legacy as a charitable donation, you should make your wishes known to NFACT for your estate to receive tax benefits. [email protected].

There are three main types of bequests: percentage, residual and specific.

A Percentage Bequest

A percentage bequest is a bequest of a certain percentage of your estate or of another asset. An example of a percentage bequests might be providing that, upon your death, your house be sold and that each of your three children receive one-third of the net proceeds. You designate that a specific percentage, anywhere from 1-100% of your estate, is left to Network for Animals. The greatest advantage of this structure is that, as your estate increases in value over time, your gift will keep pace and your support for Network for Animals will grow.

I give, bequeath, and devise [state percentage amount/all/or a stated share] of the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate, both real and personal, of whatsoever nature and wheresoever situate, to Network for Animals, a registered charity in the UK (registration number 3285050), to be used for the general charitable purposes of the organisation, specifically to provide a second chance for animals caught up in the cruel cycle of torture, abuse, and exploitation.

A Residual Bequest

A residual bequest is a bequest of all or a portion of the remainder or residue of your estate after specific and other bequests have been distributed. An example of this type of bequest might be providing that everything that remains after all previous bequests have been satisfied should be given to Network for Animals. By naming Network for Animals as the beneficiary of this residue, you simplify the probate process and ensure that the government doesn’t allocate the remainder of your estate as you see fit.

I give, bequeath, and devise (all, or state percentage or shares) of the rest, residue, and remainder of property, both real and personal, wherever situated, which I may own or be entitled to at my death, to Network for Animals., Charitable Trust (registered charity number 1142700) and not-for-profit organisation as Network for Animals Limited (company no. 03285050) to be used to provide a second chance for animals caught up in the cruel cycle of torture, abuse, and exploitation.

The Specific Bequest

A specific bequest is a bequest for a specific item or amount. An example of a specific bequest might be providing that your baseball autographed by Babe Ruth be given to your nephew, Billy, at your death.

I give, bequeath, and devise (state percentage amount) to Network for Animals., Charitable Trust (registered charity number 1142700) and not-for-profit organisation as Network for Animals Limited (company no. 03285050), to be used to provide a second chance for animals caught up in the cruel cycle of torture, abuse, and exploitation.
