Essentials Part 1

Section 1: Charitable Legacy Giving
Lead by Richard Hill of Legacy Foresight looking at legacies within the wider charitable context, current trends in legacy giving and factors within the external marketplace which may have a bearing on legacy income.

Section 2: ILM Good Practice Guidance
Launched in 2017, the Good Practice Guidance (GPG) draws on the recognition that legacy management is not an end in itself, but an opportunity to ensure the final wishes of generous donors help to create the positive change they wanted to see in the world.
This session, led by Karin Farmer from World Vision UK, will look at these principles, their application in terms of managing legacy gifts, and the key communication skills needed to carry this out effectively.

Session 3: The basics of probate law
Looking at what the various terms of the Will mean and what the requirements for a valid will (under English & Welsh law) are.

Section 4: The administration of an estate
What happens during the administration, both in terms of the roles and responsibilities of the executors and trustees, and also the charity beneficiaries.

Section 5: Inheritance Tax
Led by Richard Honey of Charles Russell Speechlys, this session will provide a basic introduction to Inheritance Tax (IHT), looking at the main principles, how to correctly calculate IHT liability and relevant exemptions.

Section 6: Estate Accounts
Following on from looking at the work involved in the administration of the estate, including dealing with IHT, key items to look out for when checking accounts.

Section 7: The legacy file of John Doe, Deceased
To finish off the two days and help further embed the learning, delegates will work through a fictitious case file, looking at various issues which arise and how to handle them in a way which honours the donor’s intentions as well as the charity’s reputation.
