Making a will is an important thing to do – it gives you the opportunity to safeguard what is important to you and how you want your assets to be managed.
Including a gift to your favourite community group is one way to continue your support. You may find the following words helpful for inclusion in your will. However, it is important to see your legal advisor before you do so.
For your gift to Cairns Regional Domestic Violence Service we recommend the following wording for your legal adviser's consideration:
