Dentaid asks that you consider leaving them a gift in your will, which will go towards developing Dentaid’s work. 

Legacies are special gifts from one generation to another. By remembering the amazing work that Dentaid does in your Will, you are providing people who really need your support with hope for their future.  Leaving a legacy is an opportunity to extend your support beyond your lifetime.  However big or small your gift is, you can be sure that it will mean a lot to the people we work with.

The four most common types of legacy are listed below:

Residuary bequest  - A gift of the remainder of the estate after all other bequests have been made and debts cleared is called a residuary bequest.

Pecuniary bequest - A gift of a fixed sum of money in your Will is called a pecuniary bequest. The value of pecuniary legacies will decrease over time, as the cost of living increases.

Specific bequest - A particular named item left as a gift in your Will is known as a specific bequest - for example, a piece of jewellery.

Contingent bequest - A gift in your Will that depends upon the occurrence of an event which may or may not happen is known legally as a contingent bequest. An example is a bequest to a charity which applies only if other beneficiaries named in the Will die before the testator (person who made the Will).

Please organise your legacy bequest with your solicitor and then notify Dentaid of your bequest.  You can do so by downloading the legacy giving form and returning it to us.

Please remember to use our full name Dentaid and the correct registered address and charity number.
