a legacy
for life
By leaving a legacy to The Institute of Cancer Research, you have
the chance to do more than you ever thought possible to help us
in the fight against cancer. Every legacy we receive, no matter
how large or small, is a promise for the future.
Of course your family and friends come first but, if you can remember
us in your Will, future generations will benefit from your legacy.
Your help will enable us to continue our research into understanding,
treating and curing this terrible disease.
So that The Institute benefits from your legacy and to avoid confusion,
we recommend that you use our legacy clauses:
Residuary legacy: I give all (or specify share) of the residue
of my real and personal estate to The Institute of Cancer Research
of 123, Old Brompton Road, London SW7 3RP (X90004) and the receipt
of the Legacy Officer or other proper officer for the time being
shall be a complete discharge to my Executors.
Pecuniary legacy: I give the sum of £... to The Institute
of Cancer Research of 123, Old Brompton Road, London SW7 3RP (X90004)
and the receipt of the Legacy Officer or other proper officer for
the time being shall be a complete discharge to my Executors.
If you would like your legacy to be directed towards research into
a particular male cancer, do ask your solictor to include an expression
of wishes in the legacy clause of your Will. We recommend the following
wording:
"... and I express the wish but without imposing any binding
trust or obligation and without conferring any interest on any other
person that the legacy should be applied towards (insert type
of cancer research)."
This will ensure that your legacy will be used, so far as possible,
to fund work into the research of your choice. Alternatively, if
you do not specify a particular project, your legacy will be used
for general cancer research. Whatever happens, you can be sure that
your legacy will be put to good use.
