Bequest
SRS identifies individual support needs for families and people with a disability through the intake process when a Person Centred Life Plan is completed. When you choose to leave a bequest in your will to SRS, you'll know your gift will help to provide quality person centred services for people with a disability in Sunraysia.
What is a bequest?
A bequest is a gift made in a Will, which in turn is a legal document specifying how a person wishes his or her property to be distributed after they die. A gift can include money, shares, jewellery, houses and a range of other items.
By leaving a gift to SRS in your Will, you can, with the stroke of a pen make a lasting difference and lessen the impact of disability in the lives of local children, young people and adults who live with disabilities.
How can I leave a bequest?
Leaving a bequest in your will is easy. The following simple statement in your will ensures your wishes are carried out:
'I give and bequeath the sum of $_____ (*or alternatively a specific gift or percentage of estate can be given) to SRS Inc to be paid free of all duty and to be applied for the general purposes of the organisation. I declare the receipt of the Chief Executive Officer or other proper officer of SRS Inc shall be a sufficient discharge to my executors.'
SRS recommends you obtain legal advice when making or amending a will.
I already have a will, and want to add my bequest to SRS Inc.
If you want to add a bequest to your will, you can simply add a supplement which sets out your instructions for a bequest.
