Leaving a legacy

You can leave a legacy to M.A.S.T. Hospital Appeal – Registered charity no.1000695 – Macclesfield District General Hospital, Macclesfield SK10 3BL in your will. Your solicitor can help you with this when writing your Will.

Why write a Will

A properly executed Will ensures that you can make sure that your loved ones are provided for, instead of your assets going elsewhere. Without a will your assets could go to people you never intended to benefit, or ultimately to the State if you have no family. A correctly prepared Will can also enable you to mitigate the effects of Inheritance Tax.

Updating your Will

Your will needs to be reviewed regularly – preferably about once every three to five years; as we all know, lives change and this can often affect your family circumstances. Taxation laws may change too, and all of these things need to be taken into consideration on a regular basis.
