Gransnetters share the legacy they'd like to leave when they're gone with Cancer Research UK

We haven't specified any charities in our wills.

We give to a cancer charity now, also to one supporting the blind, to the RNLI and a local children's hospice.

I'd like to be remembered. How is up to the people who knew me!

I've already put charitable legacies in my will, with the entire estate going to charity if my family pre-deceases me. I actually need to change the charities now as it's many years since I chose them and my priorities have changed since then!

I don't know what the future holds for me and my family; at the moment my money situation isn't great but don't know what it will be like when my children are older. I would like to think that was is remembered once I do pass is how much I loved each of my children, that they are successful and rich in happiness when they are older. I hope they all talk to each other and are close with one another.

If I had come in to money it will most likely be left to my three children split equally. I can't say if I would leave to a charity, my views and opinions may change later on in life.

I don't have a will made at this time in my life.

I haven’t actually thought about this subject until now... I really don’t know at this stage in my life but I’d give everything I had for my children to thrive in life when I’m in heaven

I hope not to have a legacy.

I hope my legacy will be in the memories of those who knew me. I have made a Will, leaving what I have to my stepson as I have no children of my own. I didn't include a charity, though I will consider this now, as he is older and well established. Probably an animal charity, as Cats have been my best companions in life.

I donate to charities during the year as well as sponsoring people on various charity events, so I won’t leave a large amount to charity as a legacy, my family will need their inheritance.

hi will leave it to my daughter

I have made a simple will ,but need to update it ,I don’t have a great deal of money ,but to leave a little to Cancer research would be my choice ,as so many new drugs have been used to treat cancers and I admire their work ,we all have or know someone dear to us who have had this disease.
I am a lady on my own ,being adopted I didn’t know the family’s medical history

I have left what I have to family. I tend to support charities at the moment and have never thought to leave a legacy to them.

Our children are both better off than we are now! Assuming we don't lose the house due to care costs etc, then our will splits our estate 50/50 between the kids and an animal charity which is close to our hearts. I suppose that any grandchildren in the future might change this & we'd update accordingly.

My legacy will be bringing our children up to be kind and good mannered.

We have yet to right a will, but it's something that we have on our to do list. Sadly we havnt any children of our own due to infertility issues, hoping we are luck enough this year through ivf but previous history doesn't look great.

If we don't have children of our own, we would leave what we have to 1 neice and 2 nephews eldest being 14 at present.

We would consider leaving a donation to charity related to cancer , as hubby lost his mum 40yrs ago when he was 10. Also lost my gran to cancer bit she had a good innings at 92.

I give to charity most months my will is to be left to my children in the hope that they too give to charity

No will, and nothing to leave anyone

We have made a will, we have one child and we want to be sure that she is financially secure when we are gone, we have also factored in charity donations.

I've made a will but it was years ago. No charities listed in it then but I should really update it and would consider now.

I would like for everyone to remember me for my kindness and hard work

I would like to leave a legacy of one who has integrity and a pssion to win souls for the Kingdom of God.

I support Charities and Christian organisation with a vsion to help bring the word of God to others.

I am disillusioned big charities, their generous salary and pension packages so I will not be leaving anything. I support the work of small hands on organisations who do work that I admire.

Everything will go to my 3 children. Though I have to say that I am annoyed at the way some TV advertising is trying to force older people to take equity out of the homes that they live in to pass on to children or grandchildren. I think current older generation have donated quite enough money to children and grandchildren over the years without being bombarded with adverts like this. It makes my blood boil!

I have supported charities through donations taken out of my bank on a monthly basis.It felt good to do this and would consider leaving money to a charity in my will, but which to choose I am not sure. The ones which come to mind are cancer charities as we need to do more research and they need money to do this.

I'm leaving everything to my family members to help them along. I would love to donate something to charity but am not in a position to do so at the moment.

I would like to think my legacy would be my family having some great memories of me.
I don’t have anything of really fiscal value to leave.

I have two daughters who both have severe health problems. This means they are very limited in what work they can do and how much money they can earn. This impacts their life now and then will again later when it comes to claiming their pension. Therefore, I am leaving all my money to them. As they say, charity begins at home and they will need as much as we can leave for them.
