When a legacy is made to Britain Yearly Meeting, or one of its constituent meetings, it is best if Friends Trusts Limited is named as the beneficiary. Any special directions or wishes as to the purposes for which the legacy is to be used should be clearly specified, bearing in mind that any such use must fall within the general charitable purposes and programmes of the yearly meeting. In case the intended purposes do not remain applicable it is advisable not to make such directions or wishes legally binding. In the absence of any directions the legacy will be used for the work of the yearly meeting as a whole. Further advice on the wording of legacies can be obtained from Quaker Finance & Property.
