Make A Gift In Your Will
If St Luke’s work is important to you, consider making a bequest in your will so your support continues after your death.
Once you have provided for your family, you may want to include a gift to St Luke’s. Keep in mind when drafting your will that a specific amount may be worth only a fraction of today’s value when it is finally distributed. You can avoid this by thinking in terms of a percentage of your estate.
You can also provide for the possibility that some of your intended beneficiaries may predecease you by naming an organisation, such as St Luke's, as your final beneficiary. This entity is able to receive the residue of the estate after all specific bequests have been distributed.
If you have an affinity for a particular area of St Luke's work you can specify this in your will.
A will is a legal document and should be made in consultation with a solicitor or trustee company. Your professional adviser will ensure that your wishes are clearly expressed and that your intentions can be fulfilled legally. (See the Law Institute of Victoria web site.)
