Leave a Gift In Your Will

Leave a gift of lasting support

Your will is a meaningful way to provide for the people you love.

After caring for your family and friends, you may also wish to leave a gift to The Peace of Mind Foundation.

A gift in your will can help people living with brain cancer and their loved ones access practical and emotional support during one of the most challenging times of their lives.

Whether your gift is a few hundred dollars or a larger amount, your generosity can make a lasting difference, helping families face a brain cancer diagnosis with care, connection and support.

“What you leave behind is not what is engraved into stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.“

How to create a will

Seek legal advice to ensure your will reflects your wishes.

Choose an executor to carry out your wishes and manage your estate.

Consider any special arrangements, such as appointing a guardian for your children or recording your funeral wishes.

Store your will safely and let your executor know where to find it.

Create your will online

You can also create a free will through EveryWill, with the option to include a gift to The Peace of Mind Foundation.

Gifts can take many forms

the residue or percentage of the Estate
a specific amount of money
a life insurance or superannuation policy
assets such as shares, property, works of art or jewellery
an investment in perpetuity

You may wish to consult your solicitor, trustee company or the Public Trustee regarding the wording or contact us for a confidential discussion on how to arrange a gift in your will.
