✽Executing the Bequest
Currently, many bequests are not being fulfilled by executors, which poses a significant challenge for charities. More importantly, it affects the intended beneficiaries who have passed away; gifts left in wills for charities often hold special meaning and connections. To enhance the likelihood that your wishes will be honored, it is highly advisable to inform the charity about your bequest and the reasons behind your choice of gift. By utilising a platform like Gathered Here, the charity will be automatically notified of your intentions.
