Gift in Your Will

Writing Your Will

Leaving a gift in your will is a simple process that could make a real difference.

If you do not have a will and wish to create one, it is a good idea to get legal advice. If you don’t have a solicitor you can contact the Public Trustee in your state or territory. Alternatively, you can use a free online option. We’ve partnered with Gathered Here, a free and easy step-by-step online Will writing service. It takes less than 10 minutes. Write your free Will now.

If you already have a Will, then all you need to do is add a codicil – a short legal amendment to your existing Will.

Will Wording

After providing for your loved ones, you may choose to leave a gift to Drug ARM. There are several types of gifts you can choose:

“I give (free of all duties) the whole of my estate to Drug ARM and I direct that the receipt of its treasurer, secretary or public officer for the time being shall be an absolute discharge to my Trustee. I declare a general charitable intention in relation to this gift.”

“I give (free of all duties) ….% of the whole of my estate to Drug ARM and I direct that the receipt of its treasurer, secretary or public officer for the time being shall be an absolute discharge to my Trustee. I declare a general charitable intention in relation to this gift.”

“I give (free of all duties) the residue of my estate to Drug ARM and I direct that the receipt of its treasurer, secretary or public officer for the time being shall be an absolute discharge to my Trustee. I declare a general charitable intention in relation to this gift.”

“I give (free of all duties) the sum of $… to Drug ARM and I direct that the receipt of its treasurer, secretary or public officer for the time being shall be an absolute discharge to my Trustee. I declare a general charitable intention in relation to this gift.

How Will My Gift Be Used?

Gifts in Will are invested in a legacy fund called ARMed for Life. Drug ARM created this fund so that the generous gifts in Will could be applied to long term community projects such as our Street Outreach Services, counselling and awareness programs. The ARMed for Life fund ensures that your legacy gift will continue to help the community for future generations.

How does it work?

These funds are applied to prudent, diversified investments such as bonds, stocks or term deposits to generate ongoing returns that fund crucial, long-term community projects. The ARMed for Life Legacy Fund operates within a stringent ethical framework and does not invest in companies involved in products or services that do not align with our charitable purpose (for example liquor, tobacco or gambling).
