Family and friends are of course the people at the front of your mind when it comes to writing a will, but that does not mean you cannot also leave a gift to a charity close to your heart.  
 

Leaving a legacy is straightforward and can be done with the help of a solicitor. Using a solicitor when updating or making a new will is relatively inexpensive and minimises the risk of any future legal complications. To find a local firm of solicitors that specialise in this area, you can consult either your local telephone directory or the Law Society's website.
