Legacy Sample Wording - UK Taxpayers

Below are some phrases which may help you and your legal advisor to draft a clause in your Will in order to help Univ. Please note that UK donors may support Univ either (1) by giving directly to the College, or (2) by making a gift to the Univ Old Members' Trust. You can make a bequest by creating a new Will or by adding a codicil to your current Will.

To give directly to University College, Oxford the preferred phrase is: "I bequeath to the Master and Fellows of the College of the Great Hall of the University commonly called University College in the University of Oxford the .......... and I further direct that the receipt of the Bursar or other proper officer for the time being of the College shall be a full and sufficient discharge of my trustees."

To give to the Univ Old Members’ Trust, the preferred phrase is: “I bequeath to the Trustees of the Univ Old Members Trust (registered charity number 2999239) the .......... and I further direct that the receipt of the Chairman or other proper officer for the time being of the Trust shall be a full and sufficient discharge of my trustees.”
