Leaving a legacy: why make a will?
Read broadcaster John Carter's views

Every year thousands of people in the UK die without leaving a Will. They have no say about the money and belongings they leave behind. This can cause problems and anxiety for relatives and friends, and the Inland Revenue may take a large proportion of their assets.

By writing a Will you make your wishes known and can ensure your money and possessions are given to those you choose. Any gifts to charity are free of tax, and are deducted from your estate before Inheritance Tax is calculated.

If you already have a Will, please consider adding a codicil to include The Family Holiday Association. John Carter, the former TV presenter of Wish you were here...! has written a leaflet all about leaving a legacy to the charity.
