Leave a gift in your will today and help to make a difference for future generations.

One of the most meaningful ways you can support the Scottish Cot Death Trust is to remember us in your will.

 

Having an up-to-date will can provide peace of mind and ensure the people and causes you care about are provided for exactly as you want them to be.

Deciding how you would like your estate to be distributed and taking care of your closest friends and family is something incredibly important and personal to each of us. Once you have allowed for those you love the most, please consider making our charity one of your beneficiaries. It will make a lasting difference. 

Whether you are making a new will or updating an existing one, we recommend that you seek professional advice from a solicitor. They have the legal expertise to ensure your will is valid, and they can clearly express and carry out your wishes.

 

Where do I start?

If you have yet to make a will, simply book an appointment with a registered solicitor. They will be able to advise on leaving a gift to charity and help you consider everything required.

Likewise, if you are updating your will, please consider the opportunity to leave us a gift.

All you will need is our charity name, address, and charity number:

Charity Name: Scottish Cot Death Trust

Registered Charity No. SC003458

Registered Address: 5th Floor, 5B (Main Building), West Glasgow Ambulatory Care Hospital, Dalnair Street, Glasgow, G3 8SJ

As a charity, we are unable to offer legal advice. However, we would be happy to share the impact your gift could make.

 

 

Types of Gifts you can give

Residuary gift – after you have provided for your friends and family you can choose to leave a share, or the remainder of your estate to us.

Pecuniary gift – you may decide to leave an exact sum of money.

Gift in trust – you can leave a gift for someone to use over a period of time and when that time ends, it can be passed on to us.
