Why Make A Will?
Making a Will is extremely important, perhaps more
so than you think, because if you die without one, everything does
not automatically pass to your partner or spouse.
Leave nothing to chance - make a Will! It's easy,
inexpensive, it doesn't take long, and it's the best way to ensure
that the people you care about are left financially secure. So don't
leave without one.
Our Information Sheets
will answer most questions you may have, but do consult a professional
to ensure your Will is drawn up correctly. So that The Institute
benefits from any intended legacy, we recommend that you use our
legacy clauses.
Recommended legacy clauses:
Legacies left simply to 'cancer research' result
in confusion and unnecessary administrative work as the legacy
is not effective without reference to the Treasury Solicitor
for direction. It may also mean that your gift is allocated
to another charity. We suggest that you use the following
words as appropriate:
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 still don't think you need a Will, visit

section to see who gets what if you die without a Will.
