How to Leave a Gift in Your Will

Once you’ve looked after your family and friends, including CUH (Cork University Hospital) Charity in your Will is a simple and meaningful way to make a lasting difference.

If you already have a Will, your solicitor can easily add a short note – called a codicil – to include CUH Charity. If you don’t have a Will yet, your solicitor can help you create one and include your gift from the start.

There are two main ways to leave a gift:

  • A share of your estate (called a Residuary Legacy): This means leaving a percentage of what’s left after other gifts and expenses.
  • A fixed amount or item (called a Pecuniary Legacy): This could be a specific sum of money or something valuable like jewellery or property.

Below is some sample wording you can use in your Will to include CUH Charity.

Residuary Legacy Wording

“I give to CUH (Cork University Hospital) Charity of Room 8, Main Concourse, Cork University Hospital, Wilton, Cork, (insert a % of anywhere between 1% and 100%) of the residue of my estate whatsoever and wheresoever, and I direct that the receipt of the Treasurer or other officer for the time being of the said Organisation shall be a full and sufficient discharge of the same”.

Pecuniary Legacy Wording

“I give the sum of €_______ or I bequeath (Insert the item specified) to CUH (Cork University Hospital) Charity of Room 8, Main Concourse, Cork University Hospital, Wilton, Cork, and I direct that the Treasurer or other proper officer for the time being of the said Organisation shall be proper and sufficient discharge for the same”.
