FAQs

Here are some common questions about leaving a gift in your will.

What is a gift in a Will? 

A gift in a Will, also called a legacy gift, is a way to leave either money, possessions or a part of your estate to an organisation, or person, after you die.

An ‘estate’, in this context, simply means the total value of all your property and assets.  

Is writing a Will expensive?

Costs can vary depending on the complexity of your Will. Your solicitor should clarify this before you make your Will.

You can write your Will at no cost using our Free Will Service. This service covers the cost of writing or amending a simple Will. Find out more about our Free Will Service.

Do I need to be wealthy to leave a gift in my Will? 

Not at all. Whatever size or type of gift you leave us, you'll be making breakthroughs happen at The Royal Marsden for patients, now and in generations to come.

Can I leave my gift to a specific area in the hospital?

Most people leave their gift to the Charity in a way that means it can be used to fund the greatest need at the time. This ensures that the most people can benefit from your donation. However, we do understand that leaving a gift in your Will is very personal and we’d be happy to discuss this with you.

Please get in touch with our dedicated team, if you’d like to leave your gift to a specific area at The Royal Marsden.

What wording do I need to include in my Will?

Your solicitor can give you the best advice on what wording to include in your Will. It'll depend on the type of gift you wish to leave us.

However, it’s essential to include our full name, registered address and charity number:  
The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity  
Fulham Road  
London SW3 6JJ  
Registered charity number: 1095197

How do I update my Will?

If your circumstances or personal details change, you will need to update your Will with a solicitor. We can help by providing some suggested wording for your Will but you’ll also need expert advice.
