Where there’s a Will there’s a way
A very special way to say thank you and leave a gift to Good Hope Hospital

The importance of making a will
We often ignore producing a will thinking that our possessions pass automatically to their spouse or children or other close relatives. This is not always true.

Advice and facts about making a will

• If you die intestate, that is without making a will, the intestacy rules determine how your property and other assets are shared.
• Go to a solicitor, if you do not know one, ask your bank manager or a friend to recommend one.
• Don't rely on home-made wills, They can often involve your children or close relatives in expensive legal procedures after your death
• Don't be put off by the cost - you may be surprised at how low it is. A small outlay by you now could mean such a lot to those left behind.
• Keep your will up to date.
• Think about what you have to leave, it doesn't have to be money. You should include your home and any other property, cars, furniture and household effects. Jewellery, cash at bank, stocks and shares, insurance policies etc.
• It's easy to do, just issue this instruction: "I give to Good Hope Hospital NHS Trust the sum of �.............. and I declare that the receipt of an authorised officer shall be a full and sufficient discharge."
