Why people do it
A final act that reflects what you stood for.
Many people find that writing a Will prompts them to think seriously about what they want to leave behind - not just for family, but for the world. A gift to a cause you care about is a way of making that intention permanent.
It doesn't need to be large. A small percentage of an estate, multiplied across many Wills, can have a meaningful impact on the organisations that depend on bequest income.
Your choices remain yours
Heirloom does not select a charity or suggest a share. You name the cause and set the percentage that feels right.
It sits alongside your family
Heirloom can help you include a charitable gift using the options supported by your Will pathway, including a share of your residuary estate where applicable. Your charitable and other beneficiary gifts should be structured so that your intentions are clear and consistent.
It is legally recognised
A bequest to a registered charity is a standard testamentary gift, treated the same way as any other beneficiary gift under Australian law.
