Remember The Coastal Forces Heritage Trust in your will

Legacies have become an excellent way of fundraising with Inheritance Tax benefits. Your legacy will give you the satisfaction of knowing that you will play a part in the furtherance of the Objects of the Trust:

  • To inform the public of the achievements of Coastal Forces
  • To set up a fitting memorial for those who fought and those who died.
Leave a Legacy

Making a will ensures that your estate is distributed exactly as you wish, by benefiting those individuals and causes you wish to help.

The first and most important step in making a will is to seek the professional advice of a solicitor. This will ensure that your will is valid and that it reflects your wishes exactly. This is the first step towards leaving a legacy. When you make your will, please remember the Coastal Forces Heritage Trust.

If you already have a will and wish to leave a legacy to the Coastal Forces Heritage Trust, all you need to do is to make a small addition called a “Codicil”. The Codicil should be carefully drafted, signed and witnessed in the same way as your original will and should be kept with your will (but not attached).

When preparing a Codicil, the following wording may be helpful:

A BEQUEST FOR A FIXED SUM

I give and bequeath the sum of £ ……………. free of all Inheritance Tax to The Coastal Forces Heritage Trust, of The Royal Naval Museum, HM Naval Base, PORTSMOUTH, PO1 3NH and I direct that the receipt of the Trust Secretary or other proper officer for the time being of the said Coastal Forces Heritage Trust shall be a full and sufficient discharge for the same.

A BEQUEST FOR THE RESIDUE OF AN ESTATE

I give and bequeath to The Coastal Forces Heritage Trust of The Royal Naval Museum, HM Naval Base, PORTSMOUTH, PO1 3NH all (or a fraction of) the residue of my estate and effects whatsoever and wheresoever, and I direct that the receipt of the Trust Secretary or other proper officer for the time being of the said Coastal Forces Heritage Trust shall be a full and sufficient discharge for the same.

A Legacy to the Coastal Forces Heritage Trust would be exempt from Inheritance Tax.

Your legacy will give you the satisfaction of knowing that you will play a part in the furtherance of the Objects of the Trust to inform the public of the achievements of Coastal Forces and setting up a fitting memorial for those who fought and those who died.
