Leaving a Legacy
A gift that lives on, through kindness.
Leaving a gift in your will to Pear Tree Farm Animal Sanctuary is a way to ensure that your compassion continues long into the future.
It’s not about large sums or grand gestures. It’s about protecting animals who need safety, care, and respect, for years to come.
Your legacy can help animals who have not yet arrived at the sanctuary. Animals whose stories are still waiting to be written.
Why Legacy Gifts Matter
Pear Tree Farm Animal Sanctuary exists entirely because people choose to care.
Legacy gifts help us:
Rescue animals in urgent need
Provide lifelong care to those who cannot be rehomed
Plan responsibly for the future
Protect the sanctuary as a place of safety and dignity
They allow us to keep saying yes, even when the work is difficult, unpredictable, or costly.
A legacy gift is a quiet act of hope.
A Personal Decision
Make a Will to Protect What Matters Most
We understand that making a will, and choosing to include a charity is deeply personal.
There is no expectation.
No pressure.
No “right” amount.
Whether your gift is large or small, it is received with gratitude and care, and used thoughtfully, always with the animals’ welfare at heart.
A Will is the simplest, most effective way to make sure your wishes are known and your loved ones are protected. Taking a little time now brings lasting peace of mind for you and those you leave behind.
Why a Will matters
You can decide: A Will lets you decide who inherits your assets, rather than leaving those decisions to chance.
Protect loved ones: You can name guardians for minor children, make provisions for pets and specify how and when beneficiaries should receive their inheritance.
Avoid any confusion and conflict: Clear instructions reduce the risk of family disputes and delays when you’re gone.
Speed and clarity: Having a Will can make the estate process quicker and more straightforward for those you care about.
Shape your Legacy: You can make gifts in your Will to continue supporting the people or even charities and projects you care about, often for generations to come.

Plan Today and Protect Tomorrow with a Lasting Power of Attorney
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) lets you choose who can make important decisions on your behalf if you’re ever unable to do so. Putting an LPA in place is one of the clearest, most caring steps you can take to protect your independence, your finances and the wellbeing of those you love.
What is an LPA?
An LPA is a legal document that lets you appoint one or more trusted people (attorneys) to make decisions for you if you lose capacity or need help managing decisions in the future. There are commonly two types of LPA: one covering property and financial affairs, and another for health and welfare decisions.
Why an LPA matters
An LPA allows you to choose who acts for you and also allows you to set limits or instructions about how decisions should be made. With an LPA in place, the people you trust can act on your behalf without needing to apply to a court for authority. Having LPAs means you appointed attorneys can manage bills, benefits, property for you and also make health care decisions consistent with your wishes.
What can happen without an LPA
In many jurisdictions, if you lose capacity without an LPA, family members may need to apply to the court for permission to act, a process that can be time-consuming, costly and emotionally draining. Delays in paying bills, accessing funds, or making care decisions can add stress to an already difficult time.
Making an LPA with Lyons Bowe Solicitors is straightforward and supportive. We discuss your situation, priorities, and tailor your LPAs for you.
