Saving charitable gifts

Dryden v Young [2024] EWHC 1095 (Ch)

by Priya Wagjiani

Many people want to make provision in their will for charity. Some choose to continue their lifetime support of a particular charity that they have a personal connection to while others may not have people in their lives to whom they would wish to leave their estate. Alternatively, some testators want to make use of the favourable Inheritance Tax treatment obtained by leaving a proportion of their estate to charity.
