Frequently Asked Questions
A gift in a will is a donation left to Clan after your lifetime. It can be a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or a particular item.

Any gift you leave will be handled completely confidentially, and it’s entirely your choice whether or not to let us know.
Yes — including our full charity name “Clan Cancer Support” and Scottish charity number SC022606 ensures your gift is correctly allocated to us. This helps avoid any confusion and makes sure your legacy reaches Clan exactly as you intend.
Gifts left to a registered Scottish charity, like Clan, are exempt from Inheritance Tax, which can make your legacy even more impactful. In some cases, leaving 10% or more of your estate to charity can reduce the tax rate on the remainder. Everyone’s circumstances are different, so it’s a good idea to seek independent legal or financial advice when planning your gift.
