Making a will

I’m using a Solicitor:

If you need to make a will, it is best to consult a solicitor who is experienced in wills and estates. The cost to do this varies significantly, don’t be shy to shop around and get an estimate of fees up front.

I’m doing my own will:

If your estate is not complicated, you may prefer to create a will yourself. Palliative Care Tasmania recommends you seek professional advice when creating a will to ensure your will is valid.

If you are kind enough to be including a gift to Palliative Care Tasmania in your will, you should use the following wording.

“I give to the trustee for the time being of Palliative Care Tasmania Ltd the sum of $……./or……..% of the balance of my estate to be used for its general purposes. The receipt of the Palliative Care Tasmania Ltd will be sufficient discharge to my Executor/Trustee and I declare that my Executor/Trustee shall not be responsible for seeing to the application of that gift”.
