Section 1 Disputes involving Charitable Legacies: charities’ duties

Legacy disputes can be the scourge of charities. While many estate disputes involving charities are too often seen at face value as a money grabbing attempt by charities to take as much money as possible from an estate at the expense of the family – the reality is far different.

Unfortunately, disputes involving charitable gifts in wills are on the rise. HMRC confirms that there has been a 35 per cent increase in the overall number of wills disputes reaching the High Court to 661 last year – an increase from 490 in 2012. This increase should come as no surprise given that: •

more and more people are leaving money to charities in their wills

•

an increasing number of people are more confident in staking their claim to

what they believe is rightfully theirs under a will, and

•

families are more fragmented and complex with a rise in remarriages and

second families, increasing the risk of disputes after someone dies

The new-found confidence among family members – adult children in particular – to bring a claim against an estate follows a number of high-profile estate disputes involving charities in recent years. One particular case stands out for two key reasons: first, the background to the case is such that many members of the public can identify with, and second, the important principles that were clarified by the highest court in the UK. The case of Melita Jackson, which spanned a decade, sparked the public’s emotions. Melita left her entire estate worth £500,000 to the RSPCA, the Blue Cross and the RSPB. Unfortunately, her estranged adult daughter brought proceedings against the estate seeking reasonable financial provision from her mother’s will. The Supreme Court made a final ruling giving her £50,000 - and the rest of her estate to the charities.

Notably, the Supreme Court observed that though the charities’ claim was not based on personal need - charities depend heavily on legacies to continue their work, which is, by definition, of public benefit. Charities do not have to justify why they are or should be a beneficiary, and members of the family of the deceased will

maker do not automatically have rights that take precedence over a charity name in the will.

This dispels the oft repeated assertion that charities expect to receive a windfall from wills. The principle, however, is that will makers choose to leave legacies to charities of their own free will, and they do not have to have a close association with the charity to have the right to do so. This is known as ‘testamentary freedom’ – the legal right of the will maker to leave their money and property to whoever they chose.

There are well-publicised examples of wealthy individuals choosing to leave their estates to charity and excluding their children: Anita Roddick, who founded The Body Shop, left her entire £51m fortune to charity; and Microsoft founder Bill Gates, American businessman Warren Buffett and TV personality Nigella Lawson have famously said they will leave their estates to charity and not to their children However, there is an important principle to bear in mind if you decide to exclude your children and benefit charities instead. On your death, a dependent child is legally entitled to apply for ‘reasonable financial provision’ out of your estate, though they would have to prove they should be given financial provision. So as the above case clearly illustrates, will makers do not have an inherent right to disinherit an estranged child.

What does this mean for me?

If you are considering making a will, you have the right to leave as many charitable legacies as you wish. Any charitable gifts you make are completely exempt from inheritance tax. You may also leave your entire estate to charity, but if that’s what you want to do, it is vital to consider whether there are any family members (or anyone else who if financially dependent on you) who could have the right to reasonable provision out of your estate. If you wish to exclude someone who may otherwise expect an inheritance, you can consider including a side-letter with your will explaining your reasons for excluding them. Transparency can play a huge part in reducing the risk of an expensive dispute after your death. If in doubt, talk it through with a specialist solicitor.

You should also keep your will under review. If, for instance, you have had children after you made your will, you may need to reconsider the terms of your will to ensure your children are properly provided for. There is no limit to the number of times you can alter your will, so any significant change in your personal and financial circumstances should ideally prompt you to check your will, changing it if necessary.

Any cost of doing so will be minimal compared to the financial and emotional costs to the estate and your family if a dispute arises after your death.

Section 2 Giving to Charites in your Will

Most charitable giving today comes from deceased estates, that is, people leaving legacies – or sometimes their entire estate - to charity under the terms of their will.

Though trust and confidence in charities has taken a dent in recent times, more money than ever is being donated to charity under people’s wills, according to Coop Legal Services (CLS).

CLS surveyed more than 30,000 people and has recently reported that out of those who have made a will, the financial value of gifts being left to charity in wills has increased by over 30% in the last 12 months. This is welcome news for charities for which charitable giving is their lifeblood. So what charities are particularly favoured by will makers? According to CLS, cancer charities and animal and poverty charities are the most popular beneficiaries, with animal charities receiving nearly a quarter of charitable legacies left under wills. There are also local charities which attract 11 per cent of legacies in wills.

Gifts to charities in people’s wills now make up their largest single source of voluntary income generating nearly £3 billion a year – a record high. Cancer Research UK says charitable giving under people’s wills is its single biggest source of fundraising income. So why leave legacies to charities in your will?

Aside from the obvious desire to provide financial support to a charity or charities for which you may have a particular passion, charitable giving in your will can mean big tax savings on your estate. Inheritance tax is charged at the rate of 40 per cent on the value of a deceased’s estate that exceeds the inheritance tax threshold (also known as the ‘nil rate band’). This threshold is £325,000.

When you think of how much houses and other properties cost across much of the United Kingdom, particularly in London and the South, it’s not hard to see that the value of many deceased estates will exceed the inheritance tax threshold and be liable for inheritance tax. If you have a house worth £400,000 and other assets

10

amounting to £100,000, your estate will be worth £500,000 - so up to £175,000 could be taxed at 40 per cent. Thankfully, there are a number of exemptions and relies available - including charity relief. So how does that work?

If you leave a charitable legacy in your will, the value of that legacy will not form part of your estate for inheritance tax purposes. This means if you have a £500,000 estate and you leave, for example, £50,000 equally to two charities – only £125,000 could be taxable. Furthermore, if you leave at least 10% of your estate to charity, the rate of inheritance tax goes down to 36 per cent, so the potential tax savings for your executors increase if you leave more than a tenth of your estate to charity.

However, it seems not enough people know about the tax advantages to be had from leaving money to charity in their wills. According to the legacy information provider Smee & Ford, a mere 6.1 per cent of people leave a charitable legacy in their wills. But it also reports that the number of charitable estates is steadily on the increase, with a higher percentage of wills now containing a gift to charity. There are various reasons for this trend, such as longer life expectancy meaning that many older will makers are choosing to leave a greater proportion of their estate to charities - rather than to their children who may already be financial secure in their own right.

Which charity should I choose?

There are around 167,972 charities in the UK in 2018, so how do you decide which ones to leave legacies to in your will? Importantly, you will want to be reassured that the charities you are thinking about naming as beneficiaries under your will are trustworthy causes, particularly in light of recent controversies involving charities ranging from the Kids Company to Oxfam and Save the Children.

Smee & Ford reports that the number of people leaving money to overseas aid and environmental charities has increased over the past five years; and out of those will makers leaving a single charitable bequest - the most popular charity of choice is a place of worship. In many cases, there will be charities close to your heart: the hospice that looked after a parent in their final days; the hospital who treated your sick child; the animal charity loved by your children; the church where you worship; or a large charity famous its international relief work.

11

Your solicitor will be happy to help you decide which charities to benefit in your will if you’re unsure. Solicitors play an invaluable role in helping clients make these decisions wisely. You can, of course, change your minds at any time and alter your wills; in fact, nearly half of people leaving charitable legacies do go on to change their minds, according to one legacy fundraising consultant.

This means you are free to leave charitable legacies in your will, and change your will later if you feel the need to. That said, you must make sure this is done properly, ideally with your solicitor involved, otherwise a previously named charity could raise questions about the validity of a subsequent will.

Section 3 Fundraising and Public Trust

Public trust and confidence in charities has perhaps never been so important an issue as it is today, following high-profile scandals involving well-known charitable organisations.

According to the Charitable Aid Foundation, the total amount given to charity went up to £10.3 billion in 2017. However, this amount was driven by fewer people giving more - and there was a disappointing overall reduction of participation in charitable activity.

There are various reasons for the reduction in giving, and a key factor is undoubtedly the fact that public trust and confidence in charities has been undermined by the well-publicised allegations of sexual misconduct involving Red Cross, Oxfam and other charities, and other controversies involving the likes of Age UK and Kids Company.

So it comes as no surprise to find that the Charity Commission has separately found that public trust in charities has ‘plateaued’ since 2016. More than 2,000 adults were surveyed in early 2018 for a Charity Commission report, which found that although public trust in charities has dropped, charities are still more trusted than many other sectors and institutions, including private companies, banks, MPs, and newspapers.

But do recent events mean it’s all doom and gloom for charities? Not so, according to both the Charity Commission, and the Institute of Fundraising (IoF) which supports best practice and compliance for fundraisers which says the issue of public trust and confidence is being proactively addressed by fundraisers and charities.

14

Transparency is key Transparency is increasingly important across the commercial world with a concerted government drive to lead the way with greater transparency. This is just as important in the charitable sector - the ‘business’ of charities should be just as transparent as other business organisations – and charities are clearly recognising this reality.

At a recent IoF conference on individual giving, it was acknowledged by charities and fundraisers that charities need to take public trust seriously, fundraisers need to be open, transparent and confident about how donations are spent, and willing to talk about the process of fundraising to reassure donors.

Whilst a charity cannot fix public trust, it can be trustworthy in its fundraising. This means being clear and honest, giving people choices and respecting their choices, and doing what it says it will do. It also means responding confidently to questions from supporters and not shying away.

Increasingly, the public trust in any organisation usually requires a culture change and charities are recognising the need to change the culture of fundraising and increase the ‘donor experience’. In the IoF’s Improving the Donor Experience 2018 report, the charities it spoke to acknowledged the need to understand and improve donor experience, and change is already underway within charities.

As one unnamed charity told the IoF: “We’ve conducted a full fundraising practice policy review over the last year, specifically with improving donor experience in mind.

We’re now implementing the identified changes and have an ongoing process in place to work towards this goal.”

The public can take further reassurance from the Charity Commission’s report, Trust in Charities, 2018, on how the public views charities, what this means for the sector, and how trust can be increased. The Commission acknowledges that “public expectations go beyond mere compliance with charity law; they also expect high standards of conduct”. The public want charities to be accountable by showing their impact, how they have managed their resources responsibly (including honesty and transparency about costs), and that their organisational cultures and behaviours support their charitable purposes.

15

These, concludes the Commission, are the foundations of public trust in charities and the benchmarks of a charity’s trustworthiness. So what are its key findings? In short, trust matters. Many people who feel that their trust in charities has been eroded in the past two years (more than 4 in 10 members of the public) say they are donating less money as a result. But even though their level of trust has been dented, the Commission also found that the public still think the sector plays an important role in society – “they simply want it to evidence the positive effect it has with their generosity. Words are not enough; the public expect trustworthy behaviour and proven impact”.

What’s clear is that members of the public are savvy. The Commission found that when the public suspect that charities are not showing good financial stewardship, living their values, and having a demonstrable impact, their trust decreases. It reported that those who say their trust has decreased usually cite news stories which have “shown charities exemplifying the opposite of the characteristics they want charities to display”. There is also a general a suspicion that a great proportion of donations do not reach the beneficiaries they are supposed to reach. This, says the Commission, is reinforced when impropriety by charities comes to light and is widely reported on.

The Commission found that a significant portion of those who report changing levels of trust say that this is impacting the amount they donate to charities, however, a third of those who say their trust has decreased now do more research before deciding to support a charity. That can be no bad thing.

On doing their research, what are the most important factors for prospective donors?

The Commission found that charities showing the distribution of funds is particularly effective in attracting donations, ie. transparency about where the money goes was the most important factor to most people it surveyed.

Regulation is also important, with one participant for the report commenting: “It’s comforting that there’s someone watching over them. You never really know what’s going on.” Nearly half of people said they trust charities more knowing they are regulated.

There is no silver bullet to improving public trust and confident in charities. However, clearly there is a lot the sector can do to increase it. Driving transparency in fundraising is a vital start which charities are clearly taking seriously.

Section 4 Wills: charities’ new-found confidence?

Charities will be more confident in protecting their interests when named as beneficiaries under a deceased’s will - even if a will maker makes a later will removing the charity. Given that charities depend heavily on legacies under people wills, it should come as no surprise that a charity will do all it can to protect a legacy when a will maker has chosen to give the charity some of their estate in their will.

Following a somewhat unusual wills dispute, more charities are increasingly likely to challenge wills that have been re-written, where the will maker excludes them in situations where they were left legacies under a previous version of the will. In 2017, four charities were involved in a dispute over the will of an animal lover who had died. No formal legal proceedings were ever issued, but it raised important issues that will makers should bear in mind; particularly, that charities have a legal duty to protect their interests - and their attempts to do so should not be mistaken as greed at the expense of the deceased’s family.

The will maker, Tracy Leaning, had initially made a will leaving her £340,000 estate to the Dogs Trust, World Animal Protection, Friends of the Animals and Heart Research UK. A few years later after meeting her partner, she changed her will leaving her estate to him, and removing the charities from her will. When she died, the Dogs Trust questioned whether the subsequent will was in fact valid because the later will was handwritten and witnessed by a neighbour.

Though the Dogs Trust was heavily criticised, this was unfair because charities have an important duty to protect its interests. This means that if the Dogs Trust had good grounds to believe the will was not valid, its trustees had no choice but to take action. It would not have helped her partner’s case that Ms Leaning’s solicitor apparently did not know about the will changes she made.

As the Dogs Trust said at the time in response to the criticisms levied at it, all the charities were trying to do was to follow Ms Leaning’s last wishes – and it was down to

18

her partner to prove that the will was valid in the circumstances. Though no formal proceedings were taken, the case is a salutary reminder for will makers to take care when rewriting their wills if charities have been named as beneficiaries in previous wills.

Charities are also accountable to the regulator, the Charity Commission, which says that a charity which has reason to believe a will is not valid (for example, because it has not been executed properly, a lack of testamentary capacity or because the will maker made the will under duress) to take legal advice about the wills. The charity must also balance up the financial prospects of success or failure and the potential impact on it, and whether potential action is proportionate in the circumstances.

If a charity does not follow this advice, it could rightly be criticised for not taking initial steps to protect its interests. So if the Dogs Trust had not at least seriously considered the possibility that Tracy Leaning’s will was not valid, it would have failed in its duties.

What does this mean for will makers?

Will makers can leave their money and assets to anyone they choose when they make a will (except for where they fail to provide for dependants). Remember that there are mutual benefits where a will maker gives money to charities under their will: charitable gifts are completely exempt from inheritance tax - and the charities themselves rely heavily on bequests to continue carrying out their charitable work.

Charities’ income is typically unpredictable so it’s not difficult to see why they are so reliant on people’s generosity in their wills. Also, more than 60 per cent of adults in the UK die without making a will, and given that charities do not inherit anything under the statutory intestacy rules, the only way they can receive financial legacies out of someone’s estate is if they make a will naming a charity as a beneficiary.

Far from being money-grabbing organisations - as sometimes portrayed in the media - charities rely heavily on the generosity of those who may have a particular interest in their charitable work. In fact, you don’t even have to prove any association with a charity to leave it a gift in your will. So if you are considering leaving money to charity in your will and need expert advice, talk it through with your solicitor. And if you have never considered giving money to charity, remember that you will be able to reduce any inheritance tax bill on your death if you leave money to charity.

19

Can you change your mind? Yes - you can amend your will as many times as you want. Today, you may want to make a will leaving your estate to your favourite animal charity; but you may later settle into a long-term relationship and decide to rewrite your will removing the animal charity - naming your partner instead. However, you must make sure any subsequent will you make is done properly following expert legal advice, otherwise your executors could find themselves at the centre of a dispute.

But inevitably facilities have to be improved, and costly structural maintenance is necessary from time to time. We are also anxious to extend the work of the Charity by obtaining additional properties, where the same help can be given to the many other elderly ladies, living often in conditions of great hardship, who need our help.

Two houses near Holland Park in west London have been converted to provide 29 self-contained, two-room flatlets, where residents can live their own lives in comfort and security; with their own furniture around them and with the reassurance that a warden is available in any emergency.

If you can help us, both we and our residents will be enormously grateful.

All our residents greatly value their independence, but there is also a strong sense of community among them; the small gardens belonging to each house are very popular; and river trips and occasional theatre visits are enthusiastically attended.

Leave A Gift In Your Will?

The most important thing about legacies is that they provide security for loved ones. Sometimes however, the person making their will can choose to leave an additional gift to a charity. That gift would make a significant difference, especially for our little Donkey Sanctuary.

Gifts from legacies have helped us build a new barn to provide more indoor accommodation, create field shelters to protect the donkeys from rain and sun, fund our donkey therapy programmes for people with specific needs, and help our animals work with special school youngsters.

We are grateful for every gift we receive and the individual generosity of people is recognised with remembrance plaques on the buildings and facilities they have helped to create.

Our donkeys are not controversial, they are not political, they harm nobody and most are British. Without us, they would be homeless.

They give genuine pleasure and happiness to people; they help the young and old, the infirm and disabled, and those for whom life is a constant challenge.

Our charity is made up predominantly of volunteers, therefore gifted money is spent on the animals and the facilities they need; nothing more.

Family and friends must come first but after you have given them a helping hand, please will you remember our donkeys?

PAIN RELIEF FOUNDATION RELIEVING CHRONIC PAIN THR OUGH RESEAR CH

CHRONIC PAIN THE SILENT EPIDEMIC  43% of the population experience chronic pain which is a staggering 28 million adults  Over half of sufferers endure chronic pain all day, every day.  Around 1 in 10 people suffer from such extreme levels of pain it is that is

either moderately or severely disabling.

 Chronic pain is the silent epidemic because it isn't as visible or as measurable as other conditions, despite the fact that it can have a devastating impact on quality of life.  Thousands of sufferers lose their jobs because the pain is so bad that they

cannot work.

 Pain stops sufferers enjoying walking, shopping, sleeping; even playing

with their children.

Here is an example of chronic pain and how patients suffer?

Patients suffering from a chronic pain condition called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. This pain often occurs following an accident ….. in picture number 1 see how the affected foot is swollen, twisted and distorted. In picture number 2, see how the affected hand is swollen.

We also research on Cancer Pain, many cancer research charities are prevented from funding work on cancer pain. Their Trust Deeds specify ‘research into the cause and cure of cancer’ and this, of course, excludes pain. Yet for every £50,000 donated to cancer research, chronic pain research receives donations of less than one (1p) penny.

Research costs money, and there is always an urgent need to provide more funds for more research. The Pain Relief Foundation DOES NOT receive funding from the NHS or any other Government body. Instead, our vital work depends entirely on donations and the generosity of people like you.

HOMELESSNESS

Tonight, someone will sleep rough for the first time. It will be cold, uncomfortable, lonely and potentially life threatening.

St Mungo’s outreach teams go out each night to meet people who are sleeping rough and to help them move away from the streets.

We’re also one of the few homelessness charities that accommodate people with dogs or other pets wherever possible, reducing barriers for someone to come off the streets.

Our vision is that everyone has a place to call home and can fulfil their hopes and ambitions. Your support is vital in helping us achieve this.

A gift in your will could help safeguard our services for the future and help end homelessness for good.
