Information for Executors
Keeping things simple
We're so grateful that your loved one chose to include CHAS in their Will. They truly will be making a difference beyond their lifetime.
Some pointers to help
We understand that being an executor is a big responsibility. We want to make this part as simple as possible for you.
What to do next
If CHAS is a beneficiary of your loved one's Will, please get in touch with Rachel and Charlene in the Legacy Team: legacy@chas.org.uk
We would love to learn more about your loved one, and what made them decide to include CHAS in their Will. If they have made CHAS part of their personal legacy, then we would love to hear their story.
It would also be helpful if you could provide the following information:
- Full name (and previous names) of the person who has died
- Their last known address
- A copy of the Will
- Your details so we can keep in touch with you
This information helps us administer gifts in Wills in accordance with the Charity Commission. It also enables us to keep in touch with you and help you make the gift as swiftly as possible.
Information for you
Here’s some information about CHAS that may be useful for you:
- Full Charity Name: Children’s Hospices Across Scotland
- Charity Address: Head Office, Canal Court, 42 Craiglockhart Avenue, Edinburgh, EH14 1LT

Tax exemptions
It's also important to note that all registered charities, including CHAS, benefit from inheritance tax exemptions. This means your loved one may be able to leave more to CHAS, with no cost to any other beneficiary. Please consult a solicitor for advice on tax exemptions if charities are included in your loved one's Will.
Making payment
Please get in touch before sending your payment so that we can ensure the gift is processed and acknowledged appropriately.
If you’re ready to make the payment, you can:
