Your gift can be as large or small as you like. There are three main ways of leaving a gift. 1. A percentage of what you leave behind. This could be anything from 1% to 100%. 2. A fixed cash gift. This could be any amount you choose, such as £500, £1,000, or £100,000 – it’s up to you. 3. An item you own. This could be anything from a piece of jewellery, a classic car, or even a property.
