Leave a gift in your will

Historic Coventry Trust relies on the support of individuals to help us preserve Coventry’s historic buildings and landscape, for the benefit of all. By leaving a gift in your will you will help us to make the city’s heritage available to everyone in perpetuity.

You can support us in preserving Coventry’s heritage for future generations by leaving a legacy in your will.

A thoughtful way to help preserve Coventry’s heritage for future generations.

Your will is a personal reflection of the people and causes you care about. You can leave gifts to:

  • Family and friends
  • Charities and organisations that matter to you

These recipients are known as your beneficiaries. Every gift, no matter the size, helps shape your legacy.

There are several types of gifts you can include in your will:

  • Residuary gift: a share of your estate after all other commitments are settled.
  • Cash gift: a fixed sum of money.
  • Specific gift: a particular item or collection of items.

Each option allows you to support what matters most to you.

When writing or updating your will, we would recommend using a solicitor or an experienced will writer. It doesn’t have to be expensive, and you can look around for different quotes to get a good deal.
