Job description

Harris Hill are delighted to be working with a national charity to recruit for a Legacy Administration Manager in order to manage and administer legacy gifts. This is a pivotal role, ensuring legacy income is maximised, accurately recorded and received in a timely, compliant manner, while always honouring the wishes of legators with sensitivity and care.

Working with a high level of autonomy, you will oversee the legacy administration process end to end, building strong relationships with executors, solicitors and co-beneficiaries, and working closely with internal fundraising, finance and data teams. You will also play a key role in identifying and managing risk, resolving complex cases and maintaining best practice processes.

As a Legacy Administration Manager you will:

  • Manage the full legacy administration process, from notification through to receipt of income
  • Create and maintain accurate digital and physical legacy records
  • Respond sensitively and promptly to all legacy related correspondence
  • Review and approve estate accounts, questioning anomalies where appropriate
  • Liaise with executors, solicitors and co-beneficiaries to progress estates and protect the charity’s entitlement
  • Identify, escalate and help resolve complex, contentious or high-risk cases, working with legal advisers as needed
  • Support and advise lay executors when required
  • Follow up stalled or inactive cases to ensure progress
  • Maintain and improve legacy administration policies, processes and compliance with relevant legislation and best practice
  • Ensure all work is carried out sensitively and in line with GDPR
  • Produce reports for Directors and Trustees on the legacy pipeline and contentious cases
  • Work collaboratively with fundraising, finance and supporter data teams
  • Provide cover for the Legacy and In Memory Manager and support legacy related communications and events

To be successful, you must have experience:

  • Proven experience of managing legacy gifts and estate administration
  • Working knowledge of wills, probate, trusts and relevant charity law
  • Awareness of inheritance tax, capital gains tax and related regulations
  • Experience reviewing estate accounts and identifying issues or anomalies
  • Strong organisational skills with excellent attention to detail
  • Ability to manage your own workload and progress cases proactively
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a sensitive and empathetic approach
  • Confidence assessing reputational, financial and legal risk
  • Competence in MS Office (Outlook, Word, Excel) and CRM or legacy management systems
  • A high level of discretion and respect for confidentiality

Desirable:

  • Experience working within a charity
  • Certificate in Charity Legacy Administration (CiCLA), Institute of Legacy Management qualification, or equivalent experience (e.g. legal, paralegal or private practice estate administration)

Salary: £35,000 – £38,000 per annum
