Discussing your will is not easy, but it is a precious conversation.
After all, a will contains your final legal instructions, revealed only after you are gone and when much sadness remains.
Crafting a will is something you dedicate much thought to – what legacy will you leave? What will your final impact be?
For many, it involves remembering children and other family members. For many it also means leaving a bequest, or monetary gift to honour and support a special cause.
If saying thanks by helping improve the quality of life of other Brightwater clients means a lot to you, then we understand why.
We are very grateful for your thoughtfulness should you decide to leave a gift in your will to us.
Whether large or small, every gift that Brightwater receives is greatly appreciated and valued. Your generosity will support initiatives that will help future generations for years to come.
Your valuable contribution will be directed toward our dedicated research centre for us to continue exploring and finding innovative and tangible ways how to improve people’s wellbeing.
Our research priorities include brain health, ageing well, brain injury rehabilitation, independence, dementia care, quality of life, Huntington’s Disease and palliative care.
Your support will help us continue our mission of pursuing the dignity and independence for some of the most vulnerable in our community.
If you are considering leaving a gift to us in your will, we would love to talk to you and discuss some of the options available. We can also discuss some of the areas of our work that may interest you.
We do appreciate that family and loved ones always come first. We believe it is an important step to talk to family and loved ones about your will. Your communication will ensure your final wishes are carried out. We also understand that circumstances change and respect your decision to alter your will at any time.
We recommend that you seek legal advice when creating or making changes to your will to ensure your wishes are clearly and legally expressed. There are several ways you can support Brightwater in your will:
The residue of your estate is what remains of the estate once all your loved ones and charges have been paid.
A residuary gift could be a percentage or the whole of the residue of your estate.
This is when you leave an exact sum of money to us.
It may be of interest to note that the value of this will decrease over time with inflation.
You may wish to leave us a particular item (known as a specific bequest), which can be sold to support our work.
It could be property or an item of value such as real estate, art or a piece of jewellery.
We recommend that you seek legal advice when creating or making changes to your will to ensure your wishes are clearly and legally stated. We have prepared some suggested wording for your will that you can share with your solicitor when they prepare your documents. Simply ask them to insert the appropriate clause selected form the wording below.
