You may wish to consult your solicitor about the two main forms of legacy:
1. Pecuniary - a specific cash amount which you state in your will.
2. Residuary - the residue of your estate (or a share of it) after all your other bequests have been met and inheritance tax and expenses are paid.
Suitable wording would be:
" I give and bequeath to St. Luke's Hospital for the Clergy (Registered ) *
*...all the residue of my estate
*...one half/third etc share of the residue of my estate
*...the sum of £........
and I declare that the receipt of the General Secretary or other authorised officer for the time being of the Charity shall be sufficient discharge to my executors"
