If, like so many of you, SVP holds a special place in your heart, please consider making a gift in your Will, so your kindness can live on even after you’re gone.
4 Simple Steps:
Step 1: Know the value of your Estate
Step 2: Identify who and causes you would like to include in your Will.
Step 3: Decide who you would like to appoint as Executor to your Will
Step 4: Arrange an appointment with a solicitor, or make your Will online
If you wish to amend an existing Will so that you can make a gift to The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul, you can use the following suggested wording to make the change:
"I give to The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul, SVP House, 91/92 Sean McDermott Street, Dublin 1, registered charity No. CHY 6892: The sum of € (Amount in figures and in words) or (a specific item) or all my property known as (name of property) and situated at (location of property) or All (or a share of) the residue of my estate. I direct that (i) my bequest be applied by The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul or it's charitable purposes and (ii) the receipt of any Trustee of The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul for the time being shall be sufficient discharge to my Executors."
“I give to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul of (insert local address of SVP here) all (or a % of) the residue of my estate whatsoever and whose so ever, and I direct that the receipt of the Treasurer, or other officer, for the time being of the said Organisation shall be a full and sufficient discharge of the same.”
Or, you may decide to leave a set amount of money, or a specific gift item, to SVP in your will. This type of bequest is called a pecuniary bequest. The words you need to add to your will if you wish to leave a pecuniary bequest to SVP in your will are as follows:
“I give the sum of €----------- or I bequeath (the item specified) to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul of (insert local address of SVP here) and I direct that the receipt of the Treasurer, or other officer, for the time being of the said Organisation shall be a full and sufficient discharge of the same.”
Please remember when you are drawing up your will that you should consider your family and loved ones first.
We always advise that you should seek professional advice. Your solicitor should be able to give you more helpful information about the things you need to consider when writing, amending, or updating your will.

It’s best to have a solicitor or Will-writer make or amend your Will, and their fee for doing so will usually be quite reasonable. There’s no harm in asking for a quote or asking friends and family for recommendations.
There are three main types – residuary, pecuniary and specific. A residuary gift is a share of your estate once your loved ones are taken care of. A pecuniary gift is a specific amount of money. A specific gift is an item, such as jewellery or even a property.
If you have already made a Will and you wish to give a gift to Concern, you'll need to prepare a new Will, or ask your solicitor to add a codicil (addition) in a similar way to the original Will. A codicil needs to be witnessed and signed in the same way as the original Will and should be kept in the same place as the original Will.
Yes, this is possible. We have partnered with LawOnline to make it easier for you to add a charity donation to your Will. A few simple steps will make it easy for you to create a Will or to modify an existing Will. For a significantly reduced cost, you can also have the document reviewed by a solicitor
Everything you leave to family or friends above the tax threshold incurs an inheritance tax of 33%. The good news is that if you leave a legacy to a charity, your gift will be tax-free.
