What do you need to do to leave a gift to the SFO in your will?

The best idea is to contact a qualified solicitor to help you write or update your will to include a gift to the SFO. If you already have a will in place, it may be possible to amend it to include the SFO by means of a Codicil. This is a legal document which allows you to alter your will, without having to complete remake it..

What is the SFO’s registered charity number and address?

Our registered charity number is SC010753

Our address is: 36 West Portland Street, Troon, KA10 6AB

Are there possible tax benefits if you leave a gift to the SFO in your will?

Where your estate is of such an amount that it might be subject to inheritance tax, a gift to a charity such as the SFO is tax free and will reduce the amount of tax payable by the estate to the Government. For clarification of the possible tax implications in your case, however, you will need tailored advice from your own solicitor.
