Ways you can help us Leave a gift in your will Leave a gift in your will By leaving a gift to AtaLoss.org in your will, you’ll be helping us to help bereaved people find bereavement support in the future. Your Will is one of the most important things you’ll ever write, and it is one of the ways that you can help the people you love sort out your affairs after your death. Here are some reasons why it is important. 1. Make sure your wishes are followed With an up-to-date Will, you can have peace of mind that the people and causes that matter to you have been looked after the way you choose. It’s the only way to make sure your wishes are followed in the way you intend. 2. Make it easier on friends and family Losing a family member is painful and stressful. A Will makes it much easier for your family and friends to take care of your estate and be sure they’re acting on your wishes. 3. Help to minimise inheritance tax If you’ve got a Will, it can help reduce the amount of inheritance tax that needs to be paid on your estate.

Protect the rights of your partner If you and your partner aren’t married or in a civil partnership, you don’t have the same automatic rights as those who are married. You can make sure your partner’s looked after by naming them in your Will. 5. Give your assets to the people and causes you love most Without a Will expressing your wishes, your whole estate could end up belonging to the Crown or government. Write a Will to keep control!
