Often when we are writing Wills we think about those closest to us. But a Will, much like a piece of music, has the power to touch the lives of so many more.

How do you leave a gift in your Will?

To leave a gift in your Will to Worldwide Cancer Research, all you need to provide your solicitor with is:

Name of charity: Worldwide Cancer Research

Registered charity number: SC022918

Address: Third Floor South, 121 George Street, Edinburgh EH2 4YN

Please note:
Worldwide Cancer Research was founded as AICR – The Association for International Cancer Research. Our original address was Madras House, South Street, St Andrews, KY16 9EH. It was then 10 Canning Street in Edinburgh. Our current address at Third Floor South, 121 George Street, Edinburgh EH2 4YN, is noted above.

  1. Step one

    Work out what you own and what you owe

    Start by jotting down a list of your assets and their estimated value. Assets like property, shares, savings, and other items of value that you own, including jewellery, cars and antiques. Next, consider what you owe. This may include your mortgage, loans or bills. Take what you owe away from your assets and this will give you an idea of the value of your estate.

  2. Step two

    Decide who you would like to benefit

    Think about the loved ones you may wish to remember in your Will, before considering the causes you care about. Then decide how you would like to divide your estate.

  3. Step three

    Choose executors

    Most people choose trusted family members, friends or their solicitor to be their executor and ensure that their wishes are carried out.

    Step four

    Meet a solicitor

    Once you have decided what your wishes are, contact a solicitor to get your Will written. We can also put you in touch with a local or online solicitor through our Free Will Service. 

I hope they can eradicate cancer, so there are no more cancer patients in the world. That would be something! It's why I've left a gift in my Will to support Worldwide Cancer Research.
