Leave a Gift In Your Will
For over 50 years, people have dedicated a gift in their Will to Huntington’s Australia (formerly NSW, SA, Tasmania, Queensland, and WA state-based associations). This generosity has enabled us to support families and be a voice for those who have been impacted by HD.
Gifts in Wills, both large and small, play a vital role in funding the support we offer to families who often have nowhere else to turn. By leaving a gift in your Will, you are showing your commitment to families who are impacted by Huntington’s disease, helping ensure that they receive the support that is so desperately needed.
Types of Gifts you can include in your Will
Residual Gift
A residual gift is a portion of your estate, or the balance remaining after your loved ones and expenses are provided for. A residual gift maintains the relative value of your gift and automatically adjusts to changes in the value of your estate. This is the type of gift we ask our supporters to consider because it does not decrease in value over time.
Percentage of your estate
Leaving a percentage of your estate allows you to nominate the share of your estate you would like to leave in your Will. It is not necessary to know the value of your estate, as the percentage will not come into play until all your estate is distributed.
Specific gift
Leaving a specific amount of money is a simple way of leaving a gift in your Will because you will know exactly how much Huntington’s Australia will receive, regardless of any change in the value of your estate.
Suggested Will Wording
We suggest you seek advice from a solicitor when drafting your Will as the correct wording for leaving a gift to Huntington’s Australia is very important. Your solicitor can also provide you with more details about different types of gifts and what that may mean for your family.
