Legacies (or bequests, as they are known outside the UK) represent
a key source of revenue for charities – more than 50 per cent of income in some 
cases. This unique publication is a comprehensive guide to the strategy and techniques
that fundraisers need. It also covers the ethical issues they should be aware of,
the law relating to will-making, and how to manage legacy income.
