Why leave to a Charity?
After providing for family and friends it can make a great deal of financial sense to support to your favourite charities.  Legacies to charities are deducted from the value of your estate before inheritance tax is calculated.  This means that at no cost to you or your family, some of your estate can support your chosen charities rather than going to the government…
