How to leave a gift in your will

Writing or updating a Will can feel like a daunting task.  We want to help make it as simple and straightforward as possible. 

Here’s some information on how to make or amend your Will to include a gift to Vista:

Decide What To Leave

Think about the type of gift that works best for you – pecuniary (a specific cash sum), residuary (a percentage of your net estate) or specific (a particular items such as property, shares or valuables).

Consult with a solicitor

A solicitor can help you draft or update your Will to ensure it reflects your wishes and complies with legal requirements. 

If you already have a will, you can add a codicil (an amendment) for smaller changes, or update the will entirely.
