Care for future generations
Leave a Legacy Beyond Your Lifetime
Leaving a gift in Your Will is a powerful way to ensure that your legacy continues to bring hope and comfort to future generations.
By leaving a gift in your Will to Hospital Chaplaincy Aotearoa you're extending your compassion and care for others long beyond your lifetime.
We understand that family comes first and that you'll want to ensure your loved ones are provided for. Once those plans are in place we ask you to prayerfully consider leaving a gift in your Will to Hospital Chaplaincy Aotearoa.
Gifts in Wills help us plan for the future. With an ageing population, ever-increasing need and a health system under significant pressure, every gift is important in enabling us to continue to support people during some of the toughest times of their lives.
Most importantly, a gift in your Will is a beautiful reflection of who and what is most important to you.
Ways to Leave a Gift in Your Will
A Residuary Gift
Leave a share of what remains of your estate once all your other wishes have been carried out.
A Pecuniary Gift
Leave a fixed and specific amount.
The value of this type of gift doesn't change as the value of your estate changes.
A Specific Gift
Leave a specific possession or item such as property or shares.
Many supporters choose to leave a residual gift as this ensures your family and loved ones take priority. Unlike a pecuiary or specific gift, the value of a residual gift is also less likely to decrease due to inflation.
Including Hospital Chaplaincy Aotearoa in Your Will
Writing or updating your Will doesn't have to be a complicated process, but we recommend that you talk to your solicitor or lawyer before doing so.
Seeking legal advice helps ensure that your Will is legally valid and gives you confidence in knowing your wishes for your loved ones and the causes you care most about will be carried out as you would like.
