Wording for your Will

Clearly stating your intentions about the gift you wish to make helps ensure there is no question about your wishes.

You might like to use the following wording:

For a residuary legacy: 

‘I give all (or %) of the residue of my estate to Pancreatic Cancer Action (BASE Bordon Innovation Centre, Broxhead House, Louisburg Barracks, 60 Barbados Road, Bordon, GU35 0FX) registered charity in England & Wales (1137689) and Scotland (SC049777) registered charity in England & Wales (1137689) and Scotland (SC049777) absolutely for its general purposes, and I direct that the receipt(s)  of the Director of Finance or other duly authorised officer shall be sufficient discharge to my executors.’

 For a pecuniary legacy of a stated amount:
