In your will you have the opportunity to help Central West Lachlan Landcare (CWLL) support the efforts of Landcare volunteers and groups who are committed to the environmental sustainability of Australia’s land and water assets.

There are a few options on how to leave a bequest to CWLL. However, before you do that, we believe that you should talk to your family first about your decision and what your final wishes will be before letting CWLL know.

At CWLL we are very grateful for your decision to include us in your will as every cent makes a difference. Your will is an important document and should be properly prepared and executed. You can either contact a solicitor or do it yourself. There are many ways you can leave a gift in your will to Central West Lachlan Landcare:

1. Leaving a residuary bequest: A gift of whatever is left of your estate (or a percentage thereof) after you have made gifts to family and friends. As it is not a specific amount of money, it keeps its value regardless of inflation.

Suggested wording:

I give ______ percent of the residue of my estate to Central West Lachlan Landcare of 6 Thomas Street, Parkes NSW 2870, for its general purposes, and the receipt of the Chief Executive, Treasurer, Secretary or the Public Officer for the time being will be an absolute discharge to my executor.

2. Leaving a pecuniary bequest: This is a gift of a set dollar amount determined by you at the time of making or changing your will.

Suggested wording:

I give $______ to Central West Lachlan Landcare of 6 Thomas Street, Parkes NSW 2870, for its general purposes, and the receipt of the Chief Executive, Treasurer, Secretary or the Public Officer for the time being will be an absolute discharge to my executor.

3. Specific bequest: It can be a gift of a specific item, such as property or shares.

Suggested wording:

I give [describe asset accurately] to Central West Lachlan Landcare of 6 Thomas Street, Parkes NSW 2870, for its general purposes, and the receipt of the Chief Executive, Treasurer, Secretary or the Public Officer for the time being will be an absolute discharge to my executor.
