Making a Bequest to the Trust
If you have already decided to leave us a gift in your will we’d love for you to let us know so we can show you our appreciation and let you know how your gift may be used to help CWT beneficiaries.
If you haven’t yet finalised your plans, you can use the following wording to advise your solicitor or other person preparing your will of your wish to gift the CWT with something from your estate.
