Bequests & Gifts In Wills

If you want to leave a gift to Epilepsy Queensland in your Will, you can do so without any financial implications during your lifetime. Leaving a bequest in your Will is relatively straightforward. You’ll need to choose the type of bequest and make sure to outline it in your Will using the proper format.

If you’re leaving an inheritance for your family, it may be easier to leave a specific bequest for Epilepsy Queensland as your chosen charity. Whichever option you choose, you’ll have to decide how to divide your assets between your loved ones and your chosen charity or charities. You should make your bequest formal when writing your Will and inform the executor of your Will or your next of kin of your wish.

When including a bequest in your Will, there are two types of gifts you can leave: either a percentage of the entire estate or an amount of money or specific assets. These assets can include money, property, shares, stocks, personal heirlooms, works of art, and more.
