Wills and Gifts

Let love be your legacy 

You can choose to leave The Abhayaratna Trust a specific sum or a proportion or your estate. 

Here is an example of wording you could include in your will: 

‘I give free of taxes as a charitable bequest [insert either a specific sum or a proportion of the residuary estate] to the Abhayaratna Trust, UK Registered Charity No 1126494, to be used as to both capital and income for the general purposes of the Abhayaratna Trust. I direct that the receipt of the Finance Secretary for the time being or other duly authorised officer shall be a full discharge to my executors.’

Include our website www.abhayaratnatrust.org’ for the most up-to-date contact details to be written into your will.

If your will is already written, you can consider adding a codicil. Codicil Example PDF

Listen to Satyadasa’s beginner’s guide to will making, introduced by Taradakini.

“It’s an easy thing to defer, but people usually find that sorting out their will is a huge relief. Dying is a time of great spiritual potential according to the Buddhist tradition. Thinking through our affairs is part of the preparation.”
