THREE IMPORTANT THINGS ABOUT LEAVING A LEGACY TO THE MATHIESON MUSIC SCHOOL

• Whether you are making your Will or adding a codicil to an existing Will don't forget to include the full name and registered charity number: The Mathieson Music Trust, registered charity number 1040751.

• If you want your gift to keep its value over time a residuary legacy (i.e. a share of your estate) is a better option than a fixed amount of money.

• Legacies to charity are usually tax-free so your gift can help your dependents reduce or avoid inheritance tax.

It is really helpful if you can let us know that you have included us in your Will * - this information will always be treated in complete confidence. There's no need to tell us the value of your gift (unless you want to); just knowing we have a source of future income helps us to plan ahead with our long-term work.
