Below is the suggested wording for your client to use when writing the specifics of their gift in their Will to the Wilderness Society.

It is not compulsory that they use this exact wording, however, it will reduce misunderstandings and ensure their wishes are met.

"I bequeath to The Wilderness Society Inc. for the purpose of fostering and restoring wilderness in Australia (a specified sum), or (specified items), or (the residue of my estate) free of all duties, and the receipt of the Secretary or other authorised officer for the time being shall be a complete and sufficient discharge for the executor(s)."

Curly questions regarding bequest specifics?

If your client wants to leave a bequest that is more complicated than the above suggested wording, please contact one of our bequest officers for a confidential conversation before their Will is completed.
