Including a gift in my Will to Hospice, was my way of saying thank you
Leave a gift in your Will
One in three people who die in New Zealand are supported by Hospice. Hospice provides holistic wrap around care and support for people with a life limiting illness, and their whānau/family.
Leaving a gift in your Will to Far North Community Hospice is a generous and deeply meaningful way to make sure expert, compassionate end-of-life care is here for our community today, tomorrow and for generations to come. Your legacy stays local and supports whānau right here in Te Hiku.
If you already have a Will, you can add a gift with a simple amendment called a codicil. A codicil sits alongside your Will and confirms a change (for example, leaving a percentage of your estate to Far North Community Hospice). You can update your Will or codicil at any time. Your decision is yours. Please speak with your solicitor or trustee company, and use our full legal name and charity registration number (we are happy to provide these).
Everything we provide is free of charge. Government funding covers only part of our costs, so we rely on the generosity of our Far North community through donations, fundraising, and gifts in Wills to keep specialist hospice care available for all who need it.
Give nationally or locally
You can direct your gift to Hospice New Zealand to strengthen hospice care across the country, or to a local hospice that is close to your heart. Your gift will ensure vital services remain available to people throughout New Zealand for years to come.
Write a will for free with Hospice
Hospice NZ and many hospices around the country are offering the opportunity to write your Will for free through Everywill. This makes it simple and affordable to include a gift to hospice in your Will.
A little can mean a lot
Many people leave a small percentage of their estate to their Hospice. Even a modest residuary gift, such as 5% of your Estate, can have a big impact on the patients we help every day. Give what’s right for you
Ways to leave a gift
Most supporters choose one of these options:
- Residuary gift
A percentage, or the whole of, your Estate. A residuary legacy is one of the most effective types of gifts because it will keep pace with inflation and hold its value better than a gift of a fixed sum of money. Another benefit is that it is less likely to need updating over time.
- Pecuniary gift
A fixed sum of money.
- Specific items
Anything of value such as stocks, shares, property, artwork, jewellery, etc.
Let us and your loved ones know
Telling your loved ones reduces surprises later, lowers the risk of disagreement, and helps whānau support what you’ve decided.
Telling us, helps us plan for the future and gives us the chance to say thank you. Any information you share with us will be held in complete confidence.
