Gifts in wills

Having an up-to-date will is the only way to be sure your loved ones and the causes you care about are looked after in the future. There are different ways you can write a will depending on your preferences. 

If you decide an online will is right for you, or you would prefer face-to-face or over the phone, you can choose from our trusted partners to write a simple will for free. 

Whichever way you choose, you do not have to include RZSS in your will but we do hope you’ll consider it. Any gift, no matter the size, will help to care for the animals you love and protect them in the wild.

At Edinburgh Zoo 

The Japanese Garden, our garden of generosity, is a unique place of tranquillity, of unbroken quiet, that you may not even know about. It's a special place where we recognise those who’ve been exceptionally generous in their support with a memorial plaque engraved with a favourite animal. 

At Highland Wildlife Park 

Memorial plaques and benches can be placed amongst the wonderful natural spaces and landscape views of the Scottish Highlands.

Gifts in Wills help to care for the animals you love at Edinburgh Zoo or Highland Wildlife Park and protect them in the wild. If you would like to support a particular species or place, please get in touch to discuss your wishes in confidence and our staff can offer peace of mind that your intentions will be followed.

If you're an executor or solicitor carrying out the wishes of someone who has kindly included a gift in their will to RZSS, thank you in advance for your help and assistance. Our team can support you with any questions you may have and how to make a payment.
