FAQs for solicitors and executors
Here we’ve provided answers to common questions asked by solicitors and executors. If you’re administering a will and can’t find the answer to your question, please contact us at giving@forestryengland.uk.
Do you accept gifts in wills?
Yes, we do. Although we are a public body, we receive limited public funding and generate most of our revenue ourselves.
What details do I need to include in a will?
You just need to include our name and address:
Forestry England, 620 Bristol Business Park, Coldharbour Lane, Bristol, BS16 1EJ
Along with details of the legacy gift someone has chosen to leave us.
Where do I send a legacy payment?
We are able to accept legacy payments by cheque and via BACS transfer. Please contact legacies@forestryengland.uk for all the information you need.
When making a legacy payment, we’d be grateful if you can also tell us:
- the full name and last address of the legator
- the executor’s name and contact details
- the date of the will
- the type and value of the legacy
- any other information about the reason for the legacy or the legacy itself
