Making a Bequest or a Gift - You need to arrange this with your lawyer

A bequest/gift in your will is a positive way to do this. There are several ways in which you can nominate your gift.

A Specified Sum

This is a very common form of bequest where you specify a fixed amount, however it is recommended that you review your will every five years.

A Percentage Bequest

This allows for a specific percentage/proportion of your estate to be given to the Trust.

A Residuary Bequest

You may leave the balance of your estate to the Trust after all other expenses have been deducted.

Gift of Assets

You may prefer to leave a specified gift to the Trust. A property, shares, stocks, bonds, jewellery, works of art or other gifts you wish to nominate. These may be retained by the trust as a capital investment or sold to raise funds.

Your will is the only way you can be confident that your affairs will be settled as you would wish.
