Bequest
A bequest is a part of your will that directs the executor of your estate to make a gift to a person or an organisation.
Your will is an important document and needs a solicitor or trustee to ensure your wishes are recorded in a legally binding form. For the sake of your family and friends, make sure you have an up-to-date will.
Drawing up a will is a very personal thing. Caring for your family and others close to you is most important. You may wish to also consider one of the ways of leaving a bequest.
Bequests can make a positive difference in many possible ways, all very important to the Parkinson's community:
- underwriting support services provided by Parkinson's Qld
- providing training for doctors, nurses and specialists in Parkinson's disease
- supporting vital research into possible cures, treatment methods.
