Gifts in Wills

How your legacy gift will make a lasting impact

Bayley House Foundation provides a vital source of financial support to Bayley House, helping fund important initiatives that benefit adults with intellectual disability now and into the future. This vital continued support is made possible by the generosity of bequestors who choose to leave a gift in their Will.

We understand family and loved ones always come first. We encourage you to speak with your loved ones about your wishes and intentions of your Will. We appreciate these discussions can be deeply personal, however they can help ensure your wishes will be respected. It is important you seek legal advice to ensure your Will is valid and current.

Once you have taken care of your loved ones, there are several types of gifts you could consider when leaving a gift in your Will to Bayley House Foundation.

Residual Gift
You can nominate a percentage (%) gift or all of your remaining residual estate.

Pecuniary Gift
You may wish to nominate a fixed dollar amount. For this type of gift, we suggest you periodically review your Will, to ensure your intended value is not eroded over time.

Specific Asset
You could include a specific asset as your gift, such as property, shares, jewellery, artwork, insurance policies or superannuation.

Residual gifts are inclined to maintain their value over time, and are less influenced by economic changes.

Bayley House Foundation cannot provide legal advice. We encourage you to seek independent professional advice when preparing or updating your Will to ensure it reflects your wishes and personal circumstances.

Bayley House Foundation has also partnered with Safewill. Through this partnership, you can access online Will writing options, along with helpful information and resources to support the process. While this partnership offers a convenient online alternative, we encourage you to consider a range of options and seek independent professional advice to ensure your Will is right for your needs and personal circumstances.
