Legacy Giving

Legacy Giving is very important to SAVI so if you haven't written your will yet or you are making changes please do remember us.

Leaving a legacy to SAVI will allow you to:

Continue to make a visible difference to the lives of blind and partially sighted people in Surrey
Make a gift exempt of inheritance tax (charged at 40%), reducing the amount of tax payable on the rest of your estate
Ensure that every penny of your gift helps people who really need it

How do legacies help? Your legacy gift will underpin and ensure the continuation of our work. Legacy gifts contribute to our general funds which means that unless you state otherwise, the money can be used as SAVI thinks best. If you want to visit SAVI please call us and we will make the necessary arrangements.

Why do I need a will? - A Will ensures that your possessions and property are distributed according to your particular wishes. Without a Will, there is no guarantee that your estate will be dealt with as you intended.

How do I make a Will? - Although your intentions may be simple, the legal formalities and language required are complicated and must be carefully followed. We have teamed up with Just Wills plc who offer an online service which costs from just £32 so if you want to write your will on line go to http://www.justwillsonline.co.uk. SAVI will even get a donation for every will written on line, whether you leave us a legacy or not!
