A legacy is one of the greatest gifts you can make to the School. It creates a lasting testimony to your affection and appreciation for Abingdon and all that it stands for. Abingdon has been the beneficiary of many legacies over the years and this has helped the School to develop and grow into the one we know today.
Legacies are a cost-effective way of giving. If the total value of your estate is over £325,000 (the threshold set for the 2010/2011 tax year), your beneficiaries may have to pay 40% on the amount over £325,000. A bequest to the School, however, would be exempt from inheritance tax. Your solicitor will be able to help you with this and show you how to keep the inheritance tax liability to a minimum.
Our legacy leaflet gives further details or do please contact the Development Office for more information.
We are grateful to Darbys Solicitors for providing us with an online service allowing you to add a codicil to your will or to start making your will.
