If we have been left a specific gift such as a car, a china collection, a stamp collection etc., we ask that the item is sold and the sale proceeds are paid over to us.
If we have been left property or land, we always ask to see at least two written valuations for the property. The reason for this is so we can be confident that the value for which the property is being marketed is correct.
Once an offer has been accepted, depending on the value of the property at the date of death and date of sale, a Capital Gains Tax (CGT) liability may arise. As a registered charity, Macmillan Cancer Support is exempt from paying CGT. We may also require a special surveyors report so please get in touch with us to discuss how we can make sure no CGT is paid.
Remember that we are here to help you if you need us. We have many years of experience in selling all sorts of items. Get in touch with us and we can work together to make the most of the gift.
