Leave a Bequest or Legacy in your Will
Why leave a gift in your Will?
Leaving a gift in your Will to ANZUP is a deeply meaningful way to support the advancement of cancer research.
Your bequest, regardless of size, will have a lasting impact on the lives of people affected by below the belt cancers. It will enable ANZUP to pursue vital clinical trials, invest in innovative ideas, and support the next generation of researchers working to improve outcomes for patients.
Importantly, gifts in Wills provide stability and long-term planning opportunities for researchers, ensuring that promising studies can progress from concept to completion with confidence.
Including ANZUP in your Will
There are several ways to include ANZUP in your Will. We encourage you to speak with your solicitor to determine the most appropriate option for your circumstances.
The gift can include:
- Residual bequest – After taking care of friends or family, you can leave all or a percentage of the remainder of your estate.
- Percentage bequest – A percentage of the overall value of your estate, which allows for growth or depletion of the value of your estate.
- General or pecuniary bequest – A gift or fixed amount of money.
- Life insurance or superannuation policy – Once your family is taken care of unused superannuation or life insurance can be left to ANZUP.
- Asset bequest – Specific items like property, shares, bonds, art, or jewellery.
