Bequests
Bequests from Wills represent one of our organisation's most important sources of financial support. We would not be able to serve people with dementia and their families and carers at the current level without the generosity and foresight of people who have left bequests. By remembering Alzheimer's Australia ACT, you can turn your Will into an investment for the future.
In preparing your Will, your first concern will obviously be for your family and others close to you. After providing for the financial security for your loved ones, you may like to consider including a bequest to Alzheimer's Australia ACT in your Will.
Some ways of making your remembrance gift
A legacy: through your Will, you can transfer an asset, such as property, insurance policy or shares, or a specific sum of money, to Alzheimer's Australia ACT.
Remainder: after you have made specific provisions in your Will, you can then specify that the rest of your estate, or any portion of the remainder be given to Alzheimer's Australia ACT.
Alternatives: since it may be many years between the writing of your Will and the time it is administered, you can make alternative provision in your Will. This means that if any specific bequests cannot be carried out, the funds or assets can be given to Alzheimer's Australia ACT.
