What type of Gift in Will or Bequest can I make?

A Gift in your Will or bequest can be made in a number of ways, for example:

  • Percentage: a specified percentage of your estate.
  • Residual: a gift from the remainder of your estate, after providing for your loved ones and settling any taxes and charges.   
  • Whole estate: an entire estate is usually left by someone without beneficiaries or who wants to achieve something very significant.

How your gift helps

Your bequest could be used long into the future for:

  • counselling for children affected by family violence
  • social work support to help families through tough times
  • parenting programmes for mums and dads
  • budgeting advice so people can manage their own finances.

Bequests “for general purposes” allow us to use gifts where most needed, but you can specify an area of our work that is of special interest to you if you wish.

For executors and solicitors

If you are helping someone prepare a will or add to their existing will, please use this wording or similar:

“I give to Presbyterian Support Northern the sum of $XXX (or the residue of my estate, or a percentage of my estate or the whole of my estate) for its general purposes. I declare that the official receipt of Presbyterian Support Northern will be sufficient receipt and discharge for my trustees.”
