How do I know my bequest will be used wisely?
Hospice Waikato is a Charitable Trust founded in 1981. It is independent of any other organisation and is administered by a Board of Trustees. Bequest funds will be administrated by the Waikato Hospice Foundation.
Should I seek legal advice on leaving bequests?
Leaving a bequest is simple – but as with any matter concerning your Will, it’s wise to seek legal advice. A solicitor, Public Trust or Trustee Company will help you ensure your intentions regarding your Will are completely clear.
Should I advise Hospice Waikato they have been remembered in my Will?
You don’t have to – but we would certainly appreciate it if you do! If we know you have left a gift, we can plan better for our financial future. It also gives us the opportunity to invite you to supporters’ functions so you are part of our future, here and now.
How will my bequest be acknowledged?
This depends on your personal preference. If you wish, we can talk to you about how you would best like your contribution to the future of Hospice Waikato acknowledged and celebrated.
