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

I have been paying a small amount every month to Cancer Research by standing order. Over the years it must have amounted to quite a bit. So, no, I won't be leaving anything to them in my will.

I won't be leaving any money to charity because my DDS will need the money to live on because of the lack of retirement pension when they are older. I do hive a lot to charity now, l would like to give more but l do my best

My non-smoker husband died of a rare lung condition so I’ve raised quite a bit for the British Lung Foundation in the last four years. I’d rather they had the money now because funding research and trialling new drugs now is vital. Hopefully during my lifetime some more people can be cured or at least have a longer and better quality life.

@LucyBGransnet have the winners of the vouchers been notified

my legacy I hope will be that I was always happy for a challenge, and resourceful, as such this is something I hope I have passed onto my four children

I have a will which leaves everything to my daughter. It's up to her if she wants to donate any of that money to charity.
I hope I'll be remembered as someone who loved her family and friends and brought laughter, happiness and support.

i don't think i will have much of anything to leave behind. i will saves a few sentimental bits for my children. i hope they will know how much i loved them x

Not wealthy but leaving a few expensive bits & bobs for family. Really I would like to have being known as a kind and caring person.

I will leave everything to my kids. I would love to give to charity and I do in little ways . Donating and buying from charity shops and putting my loose change in the charity boxes, I do as much as I can

I come from a family of strong women and I'm so pleased that my daughter and granddaughter have inherited this strength of character in the face of adversity. This is worth far more than any monetary or material possessions I could leave them!

I am leaving everything to my children and their families. Also a donation to Marie Curie nurses who were wonderful to my dad in his last weeks.

Not that there is a great deal to leave.

If my family remember me with love and know I loved them that is all I wish my legacy to be,

I'd like to leave a legacy which would show my family that I lived my life to the full, with due regard to knowing the difference between right and wrong and acting with courage and integrity.

I will leave everything to my children and hope they remember me as a loving mum. I give regularly to certain charities and I hope my children do too.

Just want to remembered well by my sons

Sadly I will only have money for my own funeral, but I'd love to be able to help eradicate cancer for the sake of my grandchildren.

I hope that people remember me as being kind and someone who was always there for them. A will is important to me to ensure my family are looked after. My three dogs will go to my mum as well as money to look after them so that I know they will go to a loving home and stay together.

I have not made a will as I don't have much to leave, however I would like to think the legacy I would leave would be that I have been a good parent and instilled in my children a need to be caring, loyal and hardworking and to think of others.

I would like to be known as a kind person who did his best in life and made people happy

i would like to leave my son a bit more financially comfortable after my days x

I got a free will under the 'free wills for over 50's' scheme last yr and it was backed by SCOPE,whom i like to support anyway,so as i wasnt sure how much (spare?)cash id have by the future solicitor ( who came to my home to draft the will,then returned for me& a witness to sign it)suggested i put in will for people to give money to scope instead of buying flowers at my funeral.i think thats a good compromise and if i end up with more to spare then im going to tell my AC to make a donation in my name.

I support several charities on a monthly direct debit basis and that changes every so often. I must have given enough for at least half of a guide dog puppy when they rang and were quite pushy to try to make me up my monthly debit. So I stopped that one and instead have twinned my loo several times since. (Loo twinning is part of Water Aid.)

I shan’t be leaving any money to charity in my will as I want my children to get something and there may not be much left if I need care.

I hope anything I have that is worth something will go to my family and will bring them joy but to be honest I would rather see them enjoy things while I'm alive!

I have just rewritten my will and will be updating later this year I will leave about 1/3 of all my assets to charities, cancer research, cat protection and Celia Hammond from whom I got a mother and 5 kittens 20 years ago. Only 1 of the kittens is still alive he is a slender beautiful grey stripped moggy.

Giving to charity has always been something I have always done, I have been very fortunate in life, and want to help others as much as I can, both here and abroad.
I have not specified leaving anything to charity in my will, but it is something I will definitely consider.
I would want people to remember be as a good person, and not be sad when I have passed, I have lived a full life, been lucky in love and health, and help others when I can.
