Leaving a gift in a will
Thank you for your interest in leaving a legacy to Oasis. We're working towards a future of peace, happiness, joy, security and safety. By leaving a legacy you can help make that a reality.
Leaving a will
No one likes thinking about their death, yet without a will you lose control over what happens to your property and possessions when you’re gone. If you die without a will, decisions over your property or estate will be taken by the government. This could result in many of your loved ones missing out and almost certainly your favourite charities.
A short time spent talking to a solicitor to make a will ensures your wishes will be carried out. This can help reduce stress for your loved ones.
Finding a Solicitor
There are many do-it-yourself will guides around but it is by far the best approach to consult a solicitor. You may consider asking a friend if they have used a wills solicitor. Alternatively you can call the Law Society on 0870 606 2555 who will give you details of your local solicitors.
If you would like to leave a legacy gift to Oasis in your will please contact your solicitor and they will advise you on the wording of your will.
Updating your will
It is vital to keep your will up to date. Generally you should review your will each time a significant life event happens such as getting married, a new child/grandchild or moving house.
It is relatively simple to add a charity to your existing will using a codicil. Please consult your solicitor for more information.
