Leaving A Legacy: The Quick Guide To Charitable Bequests With Funera Sydney
In the world of estate planning, ever thought about adding a touch of philanthropy to your legacy? Funera Sydney is here to make the process quick and easy. Let's dive in!
Understanding Bequests 101
Bequests are your way of passing on items or a slice of your estate to someone special after you're gone. Two types to know:
- Specific Bequest: Think specific gifts like a car, money, or a percentage of your bank stash.
- General Bequest: A grand gesture—handing over your entire collection of assets, be it furniture or that prized record collection.
How to Bequeath to Charity
Here's the express lane to weaving charity into your Will:
- Pick Your Cause: Choose a charity that tugs at your heartstrings.
- Type of Gift: Decide if you're going with cash, items, or a bit of both.
- Spell It Out: Clearly mention your charitable wish in your Will and loop in your Executor or Next of Kin.
Crafting Your Charitable Blueprint
Keep it crystal clear to avoid any plot twists. Here's the breakdown:
- Spot Your Charity: Nail down the exact name and details. A chat with their Bequests Officer is a smart move.
- Specific Bequest: If it's cash for Cancer Council Victoria, pen it like this:
I give to Cancer Council Victoria (ABN 61 426 486 715) the sum of $10,000 for its general purposes. - Plan B: Life throws curveballs. Add a line letting your Executor redirect the gift if things change.
