Leave a legacy for the children
You have the power to transform countless young lives into the future through the provision of a bequest - a gift in your Will.
What is a bequest?
Bequests and legacies are particular items or sums of money given as gifts upon the death of a generous donor.
Including a bequest in your Will has no impact on your lifestyle today and is the ultimate commitment of care for seriously ill children.
Wording of a bequest
You can view the suggested wording for a Starlight bequest here.
There are various forms of bequest you might consider, including:
- The residue of your estate (after specific gifts and costs have been distributed)
- A percentage of the residue
- A specific amount of money
- Specific items
