Bequest
Your Will & Testament gives you the opportunity to decide where your assets will go after your death. A bequest (also called a legacy) is a gift nominated in your will to one or more non-profit organisations.
A bequest in your Will to the Motuihe Trust will go towards the restoration and re-introduction of native flora and fauna to a special place in Auckland's Hauraki Gulf. The gift will last long after you are gone for future generations and visitors to enjoy.
The Motuihe Project is a long-term restoration project on Motuihe Island requiring ongoing maintenance and development. Bequests and donations will make a vital contribution to this project and the future development of the Trust.
Making a bequest is simple
- All you need to do is contact your lawyer or a Trust Company to have the bequest added to your will.
- Here is some official wording that you can send to your lawyer or Trust Company to have added to your will.
- If you do not have a will, contact your lawyer or a Trust Company to have one made.
On behalf of Motuihe Trust, we thank you for your support.
