Make a Bequest in your will

Your bequest will make a difference

We need your support. The demand for hospice services increases every year as our population grows and ages. By supporting the Hospice through your bequest you will help to ensure our services remain free of charge to a greater number of people in need. You will be assured that you will be continuing to care for people in your community well beyond your lifetime and that your financial contribution will be well managed. By leaving a bequest you are not impacting on your current financial situation - but making a real difference to those with future needs.

Your Will and its Benefits

Your Will is a unique and clear record of your wishes. No matter what your financial situation, making a legal Will enables you to provide for the needs of family who depend on you, as well as the charities you choose to support.

If you have not yet made a Will, the good news is that this is usually a very simple, inexpensive process. The benefits are enormous.

How do I make a Will?

A Will is a Legal Document, it is important to seek the right advice and wording of a Will. Your lawyer, the Public Trust Office or a Trustee Company, will be able to explain to you the various ways in which this can be done.

If you already have a Will and wish to change this, you can include a Codicil (amendment or addition) to incorporate your bequest to Mercy Hospice Auckland.

Your Will is a living document that continues beyond your lifetime. Advisors recommend that you review your Will every 5 years or so in case your circumstances and intentions change. Your review is an ideal time to add an amendment to your Will to give a wonderful gift of hospice care to another person.

If you do choose to leave a gift to Mercy Hospice Auckland, a suggested wording for your Will.

“I give to Mercy Hospice Auckland, 61 College Hill Ponsonby the sum of $...................................or (% of estate, or the residue of my estate, or a description of assets or property) for the general purposes, for which the receipt of the Chief Executive or other proper officer, shall be full and sufficient discharge to my trustees.”

Heartfelt Thanks

Mercy Hospice Auckland extends its heartfelt thanks to those who decide to contribute to future generations through a gift in their Will.

We would be very grateful if you would let us know that you had left a bequest to Mercy Hospice Auckland. This way we could not only thank you but could also invite you to functions held throughout the year to thank and honour those who have left a bequest.

Please be assured that your bequest will be kept strictly confidential, unless you request otherwise.
