Leaving a gift in your will is possibly the most profound and enduring contribution you can make to help Muscular Dystrophy Foundation Australia (MDF) enhance the quality of life for children, young people and adults whose lives are impacted by a neuromuscular condition.
A gift in your will to MDF will assist us to plan for the future and strengthen our work to support and empower people living with a neuromuscular condition, their families and support network.
It’s simple to include a bequest in your will. All your solicitor needs is our registered name and our ABN.
Muscular Dystrophy Foundation Limited, ABN: 55 104 074 455
If you already have a will, get in touch with your solicitor and include an extra sentence about your gift.
Every gift, no matter the amount, will make a difference. The amount you choose to leave is completely up to you. There are several ways to leave a bequest:
A bequest is a gift left in your will, also known as a legacy. You can leave a bequest by writing a new will, or by adding a codicil (an addition) to your existing will. We recommend you consult a solicitor who can help you write your will or codicil.
If you have not yet made a will, suggested wording is below. You are strongly advised to seek your Solicitor’s advice to draw up your bequest correctly.
I give, free of all duties and taxes:The whole of my estate; or % of my estate, or The residual of my estate (or % of residual of my estate); or The sum of $ ; To Muscular Dystrophy Foundation Limited ABN 55 104 074 455 and I direct that the receipt of an Executive Officer of Muscular Dystrophy Foundation Australia shall be sufficient discharge to my Executor for the bequest.
We’ve partnered with Gathered Here, Australia’s most-trusted end-of-life services site, to offer our supporters a free online will. It takes less than 10 minutes and is legally binding.
Leaving even a small percentage of your estate to MDF will help to ensure your legacy is lasting and meaningful.
