Freedom Charity · Registered charity 1139657 · Professional information

Freedom Charity: legacy details.

For solicitors advising someone who wishes to make a gift, and executors administering a legacy already left to Freedom.

This sheet gives factual charity information. It is not suggested Will wording or legal advice.

For Will-writing advisers

Your client’s instructions come first. Freedom works to help end FGM and forced marriage, challenge Dishonour Abuse and protect people at risk through safeguarding information, prevention, professional training and campaigning. We can confirm our charitable purposes and discuss proposed restrictions before the Will is finalised. Freedom does not draft Wills or give legal or tax advice.

For executors and estate administrators

Please contact us before sending estate documents, original papers or funds. State your role and the gift type in general terms. We will confirm the right contact, a secure route for any necessary documents and arrangements for receiving the gift. Verify payment instructions independently using a known contact route; do not rely on unsolicited bank details.

Restricted or substantial gifts

If a client proposes conditions for a particular project, please discuss them with Freedom before drafting. Trustees need to consider whether the conditions fit our charitable purposes and can be met in the future. General-purpose gifts allow more flexibility if needs change.
