Legacies
Gifts in wills transform the lives of local churches and communities. Leaving a legacy to your local church can be a way of thanking God for all the blessings you have received in your lifetime. They will help us maintain our beautiful church building or our churchyard. They are also a wonderful expression of support for the ongoing life of the church community.
Our Legacy Policy
Our PCC's Legacy Policy confirms that, however large or small, we will use your gift to help maintain the church building or churchyard, or for a special project to make a real difference to the church. For example, a gift in your will could support the ministry to young people, carry out much needed refurbishments, launch an outreach project, preserve our church bells or equip the church with new resources.
Writing your will
Everyone knows it's a good idea to make a will, but for many of us it's one of those things we never get round to doing! Making a will and updating it regularly is the only way to make sure your wishes are carried out after your death.
Suggested wording for your will
"I give ___% of my residuary estate OR I give the sum of £___ (pounds only) free of all taxes to the Parochial Church Council of the parish of Limpsfield and Titsey (1133240) in the Diocese of Southwark for its general purposes, and I declare that the receipt of an officer of the Parochial Church Council shall be a sufficient discharge to my executors and trustees."
We strongly advise you see a solicitor when writing or amending your will.
