Consider leaving a lasting gift in your Will to support the Wild Cat Conservation Foundation and make a significant impact on the well-being of wild cat species. Your donation, regardless of its size, will contribute towards a brighter shared future for these animals.
Leaving a gift in your Will is a thoughtful and meaningful way to help those animals in need. After ensuring your loved ones are provided for, you can consider including a bequest to the Wild Cat Conservation Foundation.
Your solicitor can advise you about drafting an appropriate will from scratch or advise whether a Codicil, or addition to an existing Will, is appropriate.
There are many ways you can make a bequest in your Will to WCCF:
- a residual gift which is a share or whole of your estate after providing for family and friends,
- a percentage of the overall value of your estate which allows for growth or depreciation in the value of your estate,
- a specified sum of cash. However, this does not allow for changes of circumstance or inflation, or
- a gift of real estate, stocks, bonds, shares, artwork, jewellery etc.
Wording your Will According to your personal situation and your wishes for your legacy, the following wording could be used when including WCCF in your will.
“I bequeath to the Wild Cat Conservation Foundation (ABN 64 132 007 713), free of all duties:
- All my residual estate (OR)
- _____% (percentage) of my residual estate (OR) • The sum of $_______ (OR)
- Nominated specific assets to be applied for the purpose of saving endangered wild cats from extinction OR for the purpose of ______________[specify). I declare that the receipt by a Director or the Chief Executive Officer of Wild Cat Conservation Foundation will be a sufficient discharge to my executor(s) who will not be bound to see the application of this gift.”
