If you’d like your legacy to include meaningful and life-changing support for children, the steps are very simple:
- Have a conversation with your loved ones.
- Choose the type of gift that you would like to leave for the benefit of children. There are 3 options you can consider:
-
A ‘residuary gift’ is the whole or a percentage of the remainder of your estate once your other wishes have been carried out. (These gifts retain their value regardless of inflation).
-
A ‘specific gift’ is a fixed dollar amount.
-
A ‘specific asset’ is a possession or an item (eg. property or shares).
3. Now you’re ready to leave a gift in your Will to Save the Children, here is our suggested wording:
I give to Save the Children Australia (ABN 99 008 610 035) of 33 Lincoln Square South, Carlton, Victoria, a gift of (insert here your choice of either a specific gift amount or a percentage of your residuary estate) for its general purposes.
