If a person has left World Cancer Research Fund a pecuniary or a specific legacy, please provide the following details:
Name of the deceased
Last address of the deceased and any former addresses
Value of the legacy (if known)
A photocopy of the relevant will clause
Date of the Grant of Probate or Grant of Confirmation (once known, if applicable)
Residuary legacies
If a person has left World Cancer Research Fund a residuary legacy, please provide us with the following details. These are needed to meet our auditor’s requirements:
Name of the deceased
Last address of the deceased and any former addresses
A photocopy of the will and any codicils
Date of the Grant of Probate or Grant of Confirmation
Sometimes a will is drafted that does not give our full name. It may simply say the legacy is left to “Cancer Research” but there are several charities in the UK involved in this field.
Other information in the will may indicate that the legacy is intended for us, such as our Registered Charity Number or our current or former addresses (see above).
However, if this is not made clear in the will, please contact us. We can provide further information and details of whether the deceased supported World Cancer Research Fund during their lifetime.
