Remember us in your will

Leaving Notting Hill Housing Trust a legacy in your will is a powerful way of helping us help others and giving one last gift to a cause that you care for.

Making a will isn't something many of us like to think about. It's easier to put it off, pretend it isn't necessary or hope that things will work themselves out. But making a will is important, as it lets everybody know how you want your possessions to be dealt with after you've gone.

What happens to your estate

Without a will, the law decides what happens to your estate. If you're married, this may mean that everything will pass to your spouse, but it isn't guaranteed. There is a chance that the entire estate could pass to the government, as there is no instruction what to do.

Help us help others

Your gift doesn't have to be just money. Assets, shares even personal possessions can be left to us, and they can all be used to help those in need.

Property

For a housing charity like us, property is invaluable. A home left to us could be immediately used to house a homeless family, or if large enough, be converted into a hostel for those in dire need of a roof over their heads.

Inheritance tax

Charitable legacies are exempt from inheritance tax.

So, if your estate is over the threshold, a legacy to Notting Hill Housing could bring your estate below it and make sure that the difference goes to a cause of your choice and not to the Crown.
