Leave a gift in your will
Large or small, when you include a gift to Vets for Compassion in your Will, you are providing our animals with a voice for the future.
Leaving a legacy of this kind is a way to ensure that your values of protecting animals will carry on. But we rely entirely on the generosity of people like you. A bequest shows your willingness to invest in a world where humans live in harmony with animals.
How would you like to be remembered?
These gifts allow us to:
- Provide emergency care to those in need, when they need it
- Provide education and enlightenment to inspire behaviour change in large communities both here and abroad.
- Work together, towards ending the cruelty inflicted on far too many animals
- Plan for the future with stability and confidence.
The choice to make a bequest is a very personal decision, and one that we would be honoured to support you through or discuss in detail.
THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS OF GIVING IN YOUR WILL
A residuary bequest is a percentage of your estate – after all your other gifts, taxes and debts have been fulfilled.
A pecuniary bequest refers to nominating an exact sum of money.
A specific bequest involves gifting a very specific item, such as life insurance policy, property or house, or other personal effect.
Bequests of any kind are very welcome and deeply appreciated.
Always consult your solicitor or qualified legal practitioner
In line with our values, we advise you to consult with a solicitor or qualified legal practitioner before making any changes to your Will. The information on this page is not to be taken as legal advice.
If you would like to make a bequest to Vets For Compassion in your will, we recommend you consider using the following suggested wording (which should be discussed further with your solicitor or estate planner):
I give and bequeath to Vets For Compassion (ABN 48 102 463 744) for the use and purpose of Vets For Compassion (the percentage of X) OR (the sum of X dollars) free of all death duties, and the receipt of the CEO or other proper officer of Vets For Compassion shall be a full and sufficient discharge to my executors for this legacy.
Of course, you may also wish to express the bequest in terms of a percentage or portion of the estate remaining after necessary expenses.
