We invite you to join Interplast's vision for the future, a vision that provides access to health care for people living in the Asia Pacific region. Much work has been done, and there is much more to do, your donations and bequests to Interplast allow volunteers to continue to repair bodies and rebuild lives, and make a real difference in the world. Bequests can also be a practical way of supporting the work of Interplast volunteers when you no longer need access to the funds. This is a very difficult subject to approach, as most find it difficult to discuss, however there are several ways to leave a bequest in your Will
-
Residuary of your estate - you can choose to leave the remainder of your estate once you have provided for your loved ones.
-
Percentage of your estate - you can choose to leave a percentage of your estate.
-
Specific gift - you can choose to give a gift of a specified amount of money.
-
Whole estate - usually left by those without beneficiaries or those wanting to leave a legacy long after they are gone.
Below is suggested wording of a specific bequest, however we do recommend you seek expert advice in the preparation of your will.
After payment of all my debts, funeral and testamentary expenses and all duties, taxes and charges payable on my estate on my death I give to Interplast Australia & New Zealand $__________ for its absolute use and benefit. I declare that the receipt by the treasurer or other proper officer of Interplast Australia & New Zealand of the bequest shall be sufficient discharge of my trustees responsibilities.
A will is firstly an opportunity to provide for your family and we hope that you may also consider a gift to Interplast Australia & New Zealand. You don't have to be wealthy to leave a bequest in your Will, you just have to want to still make a difference. If you would like to discuss beuqests further please call the team at Interplast on (03) 9249 1231.
