BEQUEST
LEAVE A GIFT TO QHVSG IN YOUR WILL
When we think about making a Will, it’s natural to consider loved ones first and foremost. But many people also find a place in their Will to reflect other important aspects of their lives – issues that concern them most and which they have a belief in.
By remembering QHVSG in your Will, you are helping ensure that people who have lost a loved one through homicide can continue to be provided with vital support in their time of need. Beyond your lifetime, you will providing help for some of Queensland most vulnerable people.
If you wish to leave a bequest to QHVSG it is important to think about some important areas such as:
- Discussing your wishes with your family
- Consulting a solicitor to help you complete your Will
- Simply adding a codicil if you already have a Will
- Using the full correct name of QHVSG in your wishes.
