Leave a gift in your Will
gift in your Will
Leaving a gift, or a bequest, to the Multiple Sclerosis Society of SA & NT can open up many exciting opportunities for you to make a big difference to the lives of people with MS in South Australia, the Northern Territory, across the Australia, and across the globe.
People from all walks of life, and in varying financial circumstances, leave gifts to the MS Society. Your gift, combined with those from other MS Society supporters, will make a powerful impact and help us to continue our very important work.
The MS Society makes significant contributions to research into a cause and cure for MS, and to improve treatments and supports for people living with MS. This has global impact.
Research provides hope that one day our collective efforts will beat MS, and the construction of world-class facilities will ensure that people in need will receive an appropriate level of emotional, social and physical care.
How to leave a gift in your Will
There are many ways you can leave a gift to the MS Society in your Will.
Here are three examples of a bequest:
1. A Specific Sum – In its simplest form a bequest is a specific sum of money left in your Will to be received by a beneficiary. It is important to note that the disadvantage of this is that it does not allow for depletion of your estate or for inflation. In this instance, it will be important to review your Will regularly.
2. Percentage – Leaving a percentage of your estate ensures that your beneficiaries are not affected by the changes in the size of your estate or by inflation.
3. The Residue – After providing for families and friends, you may decide to leave the residue of your estate (what is left) to the MS Society.
