Remember PETA in Your Will
A will is a convenient – and often simple and straightforward – way to distribute assets among those you love. It is also a powerful way to help animals: by naming PETA as a beneficiary, you can ensure that we will continue to make a difference for countless animals after you are gone.
PETA’s Free Will-Writing Service
PETA’s free will-writing service, provided by Bequeathed, is easy to use. It involves only three simple steps:
- Complete an online questionnaire.
This takes approximately 15 minutes and gathers information about your desired legacy. - Get legal advice.
Once you’ve completed the questionnaire, Bequeathed will arrange a consultation for you with an accredited law firm. You can choose a phone or video call or a meeting at your home or the firm’s office. The adviser will discuss with you your situation and wishes and confirm that your will fully caters to your needs. - Sign your will in front of witnesses.
After your appointment, the law firm will send your free will to you. You simply have to sign it in front of witnesses and return it. The adviser will check it, and the firm will store it securely for you, at no cost.
What information do I need to include PETA in my will?
You can structure your will to make PETA the beneficiary of either your entire estate, a percentage of your estate, or a specific amount of money or property you own.
To name PETA in your will, all you need is the following information:
PETA’s full legal name and registered address:
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) Foundation
78 Cannon Street, London, EC4N 6AF
Registered in England and Wales as charity number 1056453, company number 3135903.
Why should I get a will?
A will is one way you can ensure that your assets will be distributed according to your wishes. Failure to plan and express your wishes properly in a will or other estate document may cause you to lose control of how your estate is to be distributed once you pass away. In addition, without a will, your estate assets will be distributed in accordance with the law, regardless of your intentions. Through a properly tailored will, you have the opportunity to ensure that your compassion continues to make a difference for animals long after you are gone. And because PETA is a charity, your legacy will not be subject to inheritance tax, which means that 100% of your gift will go directly to helping animals.
PETA would be honoured to carry forward your legacy of compassion. If you would like to make a gift to animals through your will or would like further information, please fill out this brief request form You can also e-mail us or call us on +44 (0) 20 7837 6327.
