Bequests / Wills  
Each year many caring Australians choose to remember Red Cross in their Will.  Their generosity helps us to continue providing services and programs in communities across Western Australia.

If you don't have a Will we can provide you with the details of accredited solicitors or legal representatives who will assist you in making one for a small fee. 

Below is a sample guide providing wording for your Will (please discuss it with your legal advisor). 

I   _____________________  give, devise and bequeath to Australian Red Cross Society (Western Australian Division) of 110 Goderich Street, East Perth, in the State of Western Australia for its general purposes, free of all duties, the following:  (whichever is applicable)

  • ___________ % of my estate
  • The residual of my estate
  • The sum of $ ________
  • Life Insurance Policy number _______
  • Property (details) ________________
  • Other (details) __________________

and I direct that the receipt of the Chairman or other Proper Officer of the Society shall be sufficient discharge to my Executor for the bequest.

The person must sign their Will in front of two witnesses, who will sign at the same time.  The lawyer will assist and take part through the process.  Always consult with your lawyer before making your Will or codicil. 

If you decide to leave a bequest to Red Cross it is important you advise us.  All too often we do not get the opportunity to thank people for their generous support.  Advising us gives us the chance to thank you in person and discuss with you how we might invest your future generosity.

For further details  
Please call us on 1800 810 700 and ask to speak with our Planned Giving area.  We will send you out more information and a copy of our popular booklet 'Caring for the Next Generation' - a guide to Wills and Bequests.
