I have to write an article about legacy giving in the next few days and I know virtually nothing about the subject apart from the fact that we recently benefited from one!

Re: background info on legacies
You should be able to find out more from probate analysts Smee and Ford, who have many years' experience of researching charitable legacies:

Try also the Legacy Promotion Campaign, a multi-charity consortium which is trying to boost the number of charitable legacies made each year in the UK.

The Institute of Fundraising has published a code of conduct for fundraising through legacies, downloadable at no charge in PDF from
[url]www.institute-of-fundraising.org.uk/documents/Legacy%20fundraising%202004.pdf[/url]
That should get you started.
Try searching UK Fundraising for "legacy" or "legacies" and you should find a range of news items that we have featured over the past 10 years on this kind of fundraising.
