As mentioned in our blog last week charitable donations are at an all-time high in terms of donations through wills. However, with more and more people looking to leave money to charities and non-profit organisations through wills, is there a risk that DIY wills may restrict charities from obtaining capital?

A new survey into the construction and gifts left in wills in the UK has found that charitable giving increased by 8% from £2bn in 2013 to £2.2bn in 2014 in England and Wales.

A gallery in Oldham has been left a substantial bequest of paintings by reknowned local artist, Helen Bradley, reported the Manchester Gazette this week.

Thanks to the bequest of former resident Bessie Inglis, current residents of a Selkirk sheltered house will be able to continue to enjoy playing and singing along to the piano, reports the Border Telegraph.
