Nothing to leave? (4)
"I've got nothing to leave!"
Remember the Vegan Society in your will and help to fund our vital work promoting veganism worldwide.
"I don't need to make a Will: I've got nothing to leave."
People who say this often forget about the value of their
- mortgage protection
- life insurances
- records
- books
and their treasured belongings, which could provide comfort or a momento to family and friends in the event of their death. Even everyday cutlery has value and can be given away in a Will and you may have a favourite charity shop which could benefit.
Start by roughly estimating the value of any items on the list below and adding them up.
