We recommend letting your family know that you are planning to leave a gift to the Sisters of Charity Foundation, so they are aware of your decision.

There are three main ways to do this:

1. Residual – make a gift of the remainder, or a percentage of the remainder, of your estate once your loved ones and expenses have been taken care of.
2. Percentage – leave a percentage of your estate to the Foundation. This gives longevity to your Will because your gift won’t be influenced by inflation or changes in the value of your estate.
3. Specific – you may nominate a specific sum of money in your Will.

We recommend that you always consult a solicitor before writing or updating your Will.

To include your gift to the Sisters of Charity Foundation when you write or update your Will, please give the following wording to your solicitor:

I [name] Give and Bequest to the Sisters of Charity Foundation (ABN: 99 342 873 237) of Level 7, 35 Grafton Street Bondi Junction NSW 2022 to be applied for the purposes and objects of the Sisters of Charity Foundation:

1. The remainder of my estate in whatever form, after payment of any debts, liabilities and taxes and after the provisions of my Will (for my family, friends and others) have been fully paid and/or satisfied.
2. [insert percentage here] % of my real estate property known as [insert address] (or shares or debentures or other assets as the case may be).
3. The sum of $[insert amount here].

If you wish you can also specify the purpose to which you would like your gift to be put.

For example:

• To be used for [indicate how the gift is to be used]
• To be applied for the purposes of the Sisters of Charity Foundation in such a manner as the Foundation may determine.
