A Gift in your Will Helps Support Carers.
For 50 years, Carers NSW has worked to improve the lives of carers across NSW. A gift in your Will helps continue that work into the future.
Leave a Legacy of Support for Carers
A gift in your Will, also known as a bequest, is a way to leave a lasting contribution to a cause you care about after you have provided for the people closest to you.
Creating or updating your Will allows you to decide what happens to your estate and assets in the future. It is also an opportunity to leave a gift that helps support carers beyond your lifetime.
For almost 50 years, Carers NSW has worked to improve the lives of carers across NSW through advocacy, information, education, resources and support. By including Carers NSW in your Will, you can help ensure carers continue to be recognised, supported and heard for generations to come.
Your gift does not need to be large to make a lasting difference. Many people choose to leave a small percentage of their estate after providing for loved ones.
Why Leave a Bequest to Carers NSW?
Many carers spend their lives looking after others. A gift in your Will is one way to help ensure future carers are not left to do it alone.
By including Carers NSW in your Will, you can help:
A bequest is a powerful way to support the future of carers while honouring the values that matter to you.

Choose the gift that reflects your wishes
There are several ways to include Carers NSW in your Will. The right option will depend on your circumstances, your estate and the people you wish to provide for. Some options may include:
Leave what remains after loved ones are provided for.
A residual gift is the remainder of your estate after your family, friends and other beneficiaries have been provided for and expenses have been paid.
Leave a nominated percentage of your estate.
A percentage gift allows you to leave a set proportion of your estate. This option can help your gift retain its relative value over time.
Leave a fixed amount, asset or item.
A specific gift may be a set amount of money, property, shares or another asset.
Leave all or part of your estate.
Some people choose to leave all or part of their estate to a cause they care about, after considering their family, loved ones and personal wishes.
A solicitor can help you decide which approach is most appropriate.
Your decision. Always.
