An up-to-date Will is the only way to make sure that, after you pass away, your wishes are carried out. If you die without making a Will, your assets will be distributed according to a pre-determined formula and may not provide for the people and issues you care about as intended.
Our preference is to receive a gift for general purposes so that Orange Sky may use it where the need is greatest at the time. However, if you have a particular area of interest and would like your gift to be utilised in that area, please let us know as we’d be happy to chat about how we can accommodate your wishes.
A residual gift is the most flexible way to give, though we’re extremely grateful to receive any gift you consider to be appropriate.
Your solicitor can assist you to create a Codicil which is a simple addition to your existing Will. It is not advisable to amend your existing Will yourself – consulting your solicitor is important to ensure that your original Will is not affected, and your changes correctly reflect your wishes.
Of course! It’s an honour and a privilege to receive a gift in Will. Regardless of its size, it will make a tangible difference in helping us connect our communities for generations to come.
Orange Sky is unable to assist you in writing your Will. We recommend you consult with a solicitor, or the Public Trustee in your state that offers free Will-writing services.
We understand that making a Will is a personal and private matter. If you decide to include a gift to Orange Sky in your Will, we would love to be able to thank you personally for your very important gift, and keep you informed and updated on our work. Knowing about your gift in Will allows us to plan ahead so that your legacy can make the greatest impact for our friends experiencing homelessness.
If you wish to share your why, we would love to hear your story here.
