Legacies & Free Will writing service

A legacy ensures we continue helping animals in need and your Will should include provisions for your pets

Thanks to generous legacies left to the Charity, in 2014 we were able to purchase land and property outside Egremont.  In 2021 thanks to a substantial legacy along with donations, the Centre underwent a refurb with new builds for an indoor dog area, utility and onsite cattery.  in 2024 our kennels have been rebuilt. 

Legacies also help us plan our future with confidence
Writing a Will is the only way to ensure your final wishes for your estate are fulfilled. It is a last chance to remember people, pets and causes you cared about in life. A clearly written Will also avoids unnecessary confusion and stress for loved ones at a difficult time.   If you do not leave a valid Will, your estate will be dealt with under the statutory intestacy rules.  This means that your property and possessions may pass to people you did not wish to benefit, or even to the Crown. Whatever you may have said or thought about who you'd like to leave your estate to, the law will only recognise a valid Will.  It is advisable to use a solicitor. They will help you to leave clear and unambiguous instructions about your Estate, including any charity bequests you wish to make. It is extremely important that your Will has the correct details of the charity and especially its Registered Charity number. This ensures there can be no confusion when dealing with your wishes.

We are delighted to partnership with Free Wills who offer a Free Will writing service.  Thank you for supporting Animal Concern Cumbria, registered charity number 1161354.
