Do I need to leave a gift in my Will to COPE Galway to use the free will service?
No, the decision is entirely yours. While we would be honoured, there’s no obligation to leave a gift to COPE Galway in your Will.
Should I inform you if I leave a gift to COPE Galway in my Will?
You do not have to tell us, but there is an option to give us permission in your Will. We’d love to hear from you if you’re comfortable sharing, so we can thank you and keep you informed about our work.
If I leave a gift to COPE Galway in my Will, do I need to let you know?
You do not have to tell us. You can choose to let us know, or we will find out when the time comes for your Will to be read. Whatever option you choose, we always love to hear from you if you’re comfortable letting us know, so we can thank you and keep you informed about our work.
What if I change my mind?
Including a gift in your Will is not a binding commitment during your lifetime. You can update or change your Will at any time.
Can I use my solicitor to leave a gift to COPE Galway?
Absolutely. You can instruct your solicitor to include a gift to COPE Galway in your Will. If you have already written a Will, your solicitor can add a codicil to include a gift, which allows you to update part of your will. We’d appreciate it if you let us know, though you’re under no obligation to do so. Once completed, we would be grateful if you could let us know, but you are under no obligation to do so.
