Past Event
In this informal session, bring your questions to our solicitor panel from Shakespeare Martineau, as they discuss everything you need to know about making your Will.  
Amongst other topics, they will be discussing the forthcoming changes to private pensions that from April 2027 will no longer be exempt from Inheritance Tax and how this could affect you. You will also hear about the impact that legacy gifts make to the V&A. 

If you want to discuss leaving a gift in your Will to the V&A, our in-house legacy team will be available for an informal chat after the event. 

This event is free but ticketed. Booking is essential. Please meet in the Hochhauser Lecture Theatre in the Learning Centre. Tea and coffee will be served afterwards.

October 6 - 10 is V&A’s Legacy Week! Discover how gifts in Wills make a difference to the V&A and how you could share your love for our family of museums by leaving a gift in your Will.
For more information, please contact our Legacy Team at legacy@vam.ac.uk or by phone at +44 20 7942 2716
