How to make a bequest/leave a gift to AusCongo Network
We know that your priority is to look after your loved ones in your Will. We also know it is important for you to talk to them about your wishes and the reason why you might choose to leave a gift to AusCongo Network.
There are different ways in which a gift can be given in a will:
- Residuary– the remainder of the Estate after specific gifts have been disbursed.
- Percentage– a percentage of the residue or the entire Estate.
- Pecuniary – a specific gift of cash.
- Specific asset– this could be real estate, shares, bonds or other items of value (works of art, jewellery etc).
- An investment in perpetuity.
Below are examples of how such gifts may be drafted.
