How to write a Will and include a charity: webinar

This pre-recorded webinar, hosted by Macular Disease Foundation Australia and presented by a lawyer specialising in estate administration, considers the legalities of drafting a Will.

We know that family and loved ones come first. However, you may wish to consider a bequest, to allow us to continue our sight-saving work.

A bequest is a meaningful way to make a lasting impact on the eye health and the lives of future generations. Bequests help us fund ground-breaking research into macular disease, as well as support estimated 1.9 million Australians who live with a macular disease.

While many people prefer not to think about estate planning, it doesn’t have to be a complicated process.

This webinar considers all the legalities of drafting a Will, including;

  • What is a bequest?
  • What is a Will? 
  • Estate versus non-estate assets
  • What makes a Will legally binding? 
  • Different forms of gifts
  • Protecting your estate

Because every person’s situation is different, and laws vary depending on where you live, the advice provided is general in nature.
