A
Bequest is a gift for the future
Why make a Will?
Many
people talk about making a will but never get around to it.
Their assets will be distributed by the courts, in a manner that
the courts see fit. It may not be distributed in the way that
they had wished.
A
Will is forward planning. Planning for the future. The way in
which your assets are distributed on your death. How you can
help your family, your friends, your community when you leave
this world.
It
is good sense to make a Will.
How should I draft my Will?
Firstly, you should think of your family, friends and charities you wish to
assist or provide for.
Secondly, list all your assets and liabilities
Thirdly, look at how you wish to divide your assets amongst the beneficiaries.
Fourthly,
select an Executor to carry out your wishes, be it a friend or trustee
company.
Fifthly, visit a solicitor who can assist you in the drawing up of your Will,
to ensure that it is a legal document, and that your wishes are
carried out.
Finally,
keep your
Will in a safe place. You may choose to leave it with your
solicitor, Trustee Company, bank or Executor. Always keep a copy
at home. Don't forget to review your Will on a regular basis. At
least every 5 years or a change in your personal affairs.
Bequests
A
Gift in Your Will for a Lions Foundation
There
are several kinds of bequests, and the best one will depend on
your own situation.
You
can make a gift of a specific amount of money or specify works
of art, property, jewellery, insurance policies, in fact
anything of value as your bequest. Property must be fully
described so that it is easily recognised.
If
you sell any item mentioned in your Will, you will need to alter
your will to reflect the change, otherwise the recipient may
receive nothing.
You
may wish to share your estate amongst a number of people or
Charities without specifying actual amounts. This avoids the
problems caused by inflation sale of and change of assets.
After
leaving specific amounts to family and close friends, you may
choose to leave the residue or balance to a Charity such as the
Lions NSW-ACT Save Sight Foundation Charitable Trust or Lions
Clubs NSW-ACT Public Health Care Foundation.
You
can leave a property or perhaps the interest on a capital sum
for the use of a loved one during their lifetime.
Afterwards,
the property or capital can pass to another beneficiary you
nominate in your Will.
What
words should I use for a bequest?
The
following wording is a guide for leaving a Bequest to the Lions
NSW-ACT Save Sight Foundation Charitable Trust or Lions Clubs
NSW-ACT Public Health Care Foundation.
