Legacies

The Royal Signals Museum works hard to ensure that its collections and the heritage of the Royal Corps of Signals are preserved for future generations. You can play a role in our continued success is by leaving a legacy to the Royal Signals Museum.

If you are making a will, giving to charity is straightforward, and can pass on tax advantages to the Royal Signals Museum as legacies left to charities are free of inheritance tax.

By including the Royal Signals Museum in your will you are helping to safeguard the Museum for future generations. No matter how small your gift, your contribution will make a difference.

How could your legacy be used?

You may leave a donation to be used for general purposes, or you can specify a particular purpose for your legacy. Unless you indicate otherwise, the Museum Trustees will use your legacy to benefit the Museum in the way they consider most appropriate.

Your bequest could take the form of:

• A specified cash sum
• The residue or part residue of your estate
• Any chattels, property or land (however it is advisable to discuss such an intention with us beforehand).

If you own an object or collection of objects which are important to Dorset you may wish to consider leaving these in your will to the Museum.

We can provide help and advice if you require it. If you would like any assistance please get in touch with Adam Forty – email: adam@royalsignalsmuseum.co.uk
