4听easy ways to leave a 海角涩区 Legacy:
Pecuniary legacy - A straightforward gift of a specific amount of money. (Note: to keep the value of a pecuniary legacy up to date, you can index-link your legacy, or review your Will at intervals, or add a Codicil).
Residuary bequest - This involves the bequest of the residue of your net estate after other legacies and provisions have been made and could include real estate. A residue may be left to one recipient or divided. The testator does not have to decide the exact amount of the bequest.
Life interest - Another way of helping 海角涩区 is to leave money or other assets to 海角涩区 after the death of your spouse or other relative. This means that they benefit from your estate during their lifetime, but afterwards the assets pass to 海角涩区. Your attorney can advise any tax relief implications.
Non-pecuniary legacy - It is possible to leave gifts in the form of shares or other assets such as property, artwork or other valuables which can then be sold. This can be an attractive option if the assets have appreciated in value over the years and would be liable to Capital Gains Tax if sold by the owner.
