Create a Lasting Legacy for Children and Young People

You can leave a gift to the Y WA in several ways:

• Residual gift – After providing for your loved ones, you can leave the remainder (or a percentage of the remainder) of your estate. This is often the most effective way to support the Y WA.
• Percentage gift – Leaving a percentage of your total estate ensures your gift maintains its value over time.
• Specific gift – A fixed sum of money or assets, such as property, investments, or shares.

Every gift, large or small, helps children, young people, and communities flourish across Western Australia.

No. Every gift makes a difference. Even a small percentage of your estate can have a meaningful impact on the lives of children, young people, and communities throughout Western Australia.

Yes. You can choose to support a specific program, age group, or region. We’ll work with you to ensure your gift reaches the programs and communities closest to your heart.

There is no obligation to notify us. However, letting us know allows us to:

• Thank you personally
• Share updates on the impact of your gift
• Ensure your wishes are understood and honoured

There are several ways to create a legal Will:

• Solicitor or lawyer – recommended for complex estates
• Public Trustee
• Online Will-writing platforms (e.g., Safewill, Willed, Gathered Here)
• Will kits

If you already have a Will, your solicitor can help you add a Codicil rather than drawing up a new document.

I bequeath to The Y WA (ABN: 37 276 356 812), of 201 Star Street Welshpool WA 6106,

EITHER:

• the residue or (percentage)% of the residue of my estate; OR
• the sum of $(amount); OR
• (specified items), in aid of The Y WA and for its general purposes.

The written acknowledgment of The Y WA is to be accepted by my executors as a full and complete discharge.

Your solicitor can provide further assistance and advice, especially if you wish to add a Codicil rather than draw up a new Will.
