Leaving a Legacy/Pledge
I'm a paragraph. Click here to add your own text and edit me. It's easy.
After taking care of loved ones, please consider Support Our Military Veterans in your Will and see how a piece of paper can do truly amazing things.
Leaving a Legacy
Your generosity, even a small gift, has an amazing impact on helping our Veterans overcome the difficulties they face, such as mental health, disability & welfare needs (see our Mental Health & Well-Being page).
You’ll probably never meet the people that will benefit from a gift in your Will, but they are part of the family because they’ve served.
Supporting each other through life’s challenges is what family is all about, and Support Our Military Veterans look after the military family.
Leave a legacy
If you have already made a will, but you want to leave a legacy to Support Our Military Veterans, you can make an addition or change it without re-writing your current will. This addition is called a codicil.
To leave a legacy, please download the example codicil form below and take it along to your solicitor.
Please note that this form is not legally binding on its own and has to be part of your main will.
We advise you to seek the advice of a solicitor (see below for details).
Leave a pledge
Even if you haven’t made a will, making a pledge to leave a gift in your will in the future would really help us to plan for the future.
Pledges are not legally binding so by filling out this form you are not committing yourself! You are simply allowing us to confidently estimate future support for our cause.
Please note that this form is not legally binding on its own. We advise you to consult a solicitor (see below for details) if you would like to make this pledge a part of your main will.
Please download the form below and send it to us (see our contact details here).
