YOUR WISH – YOUR LEGACY
A Beacon of Hope – Your Wish
Shirdi Sai Baba’s blessings are always been with you and your family. Your devotion and faith in Sai Baba are absolutely paramount and WSSBO (UK) would like to continue its services to fulfill Baba’s 11 assurances. You can embrace that with a gift in your Will to take it further in the future.
Leaving a legacy
Once you have made provision for your loved ones, you have the opportunity to make a lasting gift to Shirdi Sai Baba, by leaving a legacy to His temple/charity. Leaving a gift in your Will to the charity is one of the most valuable and lasting ways you can continue to support the mission and Shirdi Sai Baba’s community.
A gift can be an expression of your gratitude and thanksgiving towards Shirdi Sai Baba blessings, and can help keep the Sai temple alive, and help transform His devotee’s future.
Making a difference
For many temples, regular giving is absorbed in ‘keeping the show on the road’. This usually involves everyday activities such as paying the operational cost, overhead cost, insuring and heating the building, repairing the roof etc.
A gift from your estate is different. We have a legacy policy stating that it will not use legacy gifts for everyday expenditure however it will spend your gift on a special project to make a difference.
For example, a gift in your Will could support Sai Temple’s youth activities, senior citizen activities, refurbish the kitchen, support an overseas mission partner, help to reorder the temple, preserve buildings or supply everyone with new Sai Satcharita books, etc.
No matter how large or small, each gift can make a significant impact on our mission and maintaining our spiritual heritage and culture.
Please consider how a gift in your Will could help the Sai Temple meet the needs of future generations.
Our Wills writing advisors can explain the Will writing process and you can call our Will writers as often as you like until your Will is signed.
We can draft your Will as per your wishes. Any amount of money, a possession or a property left to people or charities in a Will is called Legacies. You can make a legacy in your Will to WSSBO (UK) in the name of Shirdi Sai Baba.
It’s very important to ensure that your Will is written correctly and is legally valid.
Without a Will, your estate (your home, car, bank accounts, investments and everything else you own) is distributed in accordance with the Rules of Intestacy, which make no mention of donations to any organisations (charitable or otherwise), and if you have no living family members, all your property and possessions will go to the Crown.
Inheritance Tax Relief
Around 13% of all charity income in the UK comes from legacies and without this income, charities would have to cut services and many would simply not exist.
Gifts and donations to charity in a Will are exempt from Inheritance Tax. To qualify for the Inheritance Tax exemption the charity requires a Charity Reference Number from HM Revenue & Customs.
