is probable that the in¢ome will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Legacies
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has
been grdnted, the estate has been fjnalised and notification has been made to the executor(s) to the Tn￿t that a
distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Where legacies have been notified to
tbe charity, or the charity is awaTe of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not
been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed where material.
Should the charity be notified of a legacy subsequent to the accountin8 reference date but before the date of
approval of the accounts and evidence exists whÈch suggests that the executors of the estate agreed the
distribution prior to the end of the reporting period and receipt of the legacy is deemed to be probable then that
receipt will be recO￿lsed as income in tbat accounting period.
