THE PHILANTHROPY OFFICE Write Your Will for FreeWe have teamed up with Will writing experts ‘Octopus Legacy’ and are happy to be able to offer all Sternians (including Sternian parents and guardians) an invitation to write their will for free…An up-to-date, professionally written Will is an incredibly important document. It is the only way to ensure your wishes are carried out in the way that you want them to be. Because of this, we have teamed up with Octopus Legacy to offer a free Will writing service to help make the process as simple and streamlined as possible. Our hope is that you might also consider leaving a gift to LWC in your will, but you are under no obligation to do so as part of this service. Leaving a gift in your Will to Lord Wandsworth College is a very personal and important decision that could have a monumental and lasting impact on future generations of LWC pupils. People decide to leave money to schools through their Wills for many reasons but since the school opened in 1922, we have always had a charitable element which supports The Foundation, College projects, and The Sternians Trust Fund ensuring the College and its pupils feel supported in a variety of ways. This Will writing service is available to you via phone, online and face to face.1912 SocietyIf you do decide to leave a legacy to LWC you will automatically become a member of the 1912 Society. As a member of this exclusive society, you will be kept up to date on the latest College news, invited to exclusive events as well as the Society’s annual get-together. Last October we visited Denbies Wine Estate in Dorking, Surrey for a tour of the vineyard followed by lunch. TAX EFFICIENT GIVINGDid you know, gifts in Wills to charities are deducted from your estate before the inheritance tax is calculated. Also, if you leave 10% or more of your chargeable net estate to charity, the inheritance rate drops from 40% to 36%.29
