A residuary gift is a percentage of your estate once any specified gifts have been made to friends and family. Many people choose to leave this type of gift because its value will be dependent on the value of your estate at any given time rather than a set amount. This provides you with more flexibility when deciding how to ensure that your loved ones are well looked after first and foremost.
