How can I leave a legacy to KAR?

Leaving a Legacy

There are a number of ways you can leave a gift to KAR:

  • Residuary legacy
    A residuary legacy is a gift of the residue of your estate, or a percentage of the residue (the amount left after your debts have been settled and any legacies you leave to other people have been paid). If you leave your whole estate as a gift, this is also known as a residuary legacy. The value of such a gift is least likely to be cut by inflation.

  • Pecuniary legacy
    A gift of a specified sum of money, decided when the will or codicil is written, is called a pecuniary legacy.

  • Specific legacy
    If you make a gift of a particular item this is called a specific legacy. This includes stocks and shares, the proceeds of a life assurance policy, property, furniture and jewellery.

Wording your legacy

If you decide to make a will in favour of KAR, you will need to contact your solicitor and tell them what you want to do. He or she will need to know the form of words that are usually used when including KAR in a will, for example, the following words can be used:

“I give …… to the Girne Hayvanları Kurtarma Derneği, PO Box 450, Mersin 10, Turkey. I further direct that the receipt of the honorary treasurer or other proper officer of Girne Hayvanları Kurtarma Derneği for the time being shall be a full and sufficient discharge for the said legacy.”
