LORNA’S LEGACY

Little is known to the public about the life of Lorna Blackwood. Yet, close friends and associates know of the legacy Lorna left – one that will carry her name and that of her family for many years to come.

LEAVING A CHARITABLE BEQUEST

A bequest is an opportunity for you to leave a specific legacy to the Humpty Dumpty Foundation by providing a gift from your estate, which can be for an amount or item of your choice.

Steps to include a charitable bequest to the Humpty Dumpty Foundation:

1. Making and updating a will

The most effective way to make a will include a charitable bequest is by adding a legal amendment to your existing will. We suggest you consult with your solicitor to structure your will appropriately.

2. Decide a gift

There are various forms of charitable bequest that you can make, including:

Pecuniary Bequest: A specific sum of cash amount.
Residual Bequest: The residuary of your estate after specific gifts have been made.
Whole Estate: There is an option for you to pledge your whole estate to the Foundation.

3. Communicate your bequest wishes

We appreciate that your family and loved ones come first. It is strongly recommended that you talk to your family and loved ones about your will. Communication will ensure your final wishes are carried out.
