Suggested wording for your Will

How to leave a gift in your Will

We’re so thankful that you’re considering including The Fred Hollows Foundation in your Will. To make it as simple as possible, we’ve provided some suggested wording.

We recommend that you work with a solicitor or Public Trustee to write your Will. You can share this wording with them, or write it into your Will if you decide to create it yourself.

Suggested wording for your Will

I give…(insert benefit, either residual gift, a percentage or specific gift amount) to The Fred Hollows Foundation ABN 46 070 556 642, for its:

a)   General purposes
b)   International programs for general purposes
c)   Indigenous Australia program for general purposes

(choose one out of a,b,c)

I declare that the receipt of the secretary, treasurer or other proper officer of the nominated beneficiary will be a full discharge for my trustee who will not be bound to see its application.

Amending your existing Will

If you already have a Will, you don’t need to start from the beginning to include a gift to The Fred Hollows Foundation.

Instead, you can include a codicil- an extra clause which is added to your existing Will. You can use the suggested wording above, and you will need to have your codicil witnessed by two people when you sign and date it.
