Everyone is different, and so are their circumstances, so it’s important that the gift you leave is right for you. If you decide to leave a gift in your Will to Dilworth some examples of the options available to you are:
You can give a specific amount of money or a percentage of your estate to the Dilworth Trust. This type of gift, sometimes called a pecuniary gift, allows you to nominate a specific amount of money or percentage to give Dilworth Trust Board.
You can leave the residue of your estate after specific items and/or monetary gifts (if any) have been given. Here you make a gift to Dilworth Trust Board of what is left over (or a percentage of what’s left over) in your estate after all expenses and debts have been settled and your loved ones have been provided for.
NOTE: A residuary gift is one of the best types of donations, because it maintains the relative value of your gift and automatically adjusts to changes in the value of your estate. This is the type of gift we ask our supporters to consider, because it upholds the intended value of the gift over time.
You can leave a particular item or items such as property, land, works of art, jewellery, shares etc. It needs to be specifically named in your Will and given to Dilworth Trust Board.
You can make a gift to take effect after the death of your spouse—your spouse would have your estate for as long as he/she lived, then the indicated portion would revert to Dilworth Trust Board.
You can make a gift through a perpetual trust that will provide ongoing financial support.
You can gift a life insurance policy on your own life or on the life of another nominated person, with Dilworth Trust Board nominated as the sole beneficiary. Alternatively, you could make the bonuses of your life insurance policy payable to Dilworth Trust Board.
