Suggested wording for your Gift in Will
Your solicitor may find it useful to be able to refer to our suggested wording when updating your will. Simply ask your solicitor to insert the appropriate clause selected from the wording below:
“I give to Wellways Australia Ltd ABN 93 093 357 165…
[Please insert here the appropriate statement selected from the five options below:]
- The whole of my estate
- [insert number] % of my estate
- the residue of my estate
- [insert number] % of the residue of my estate
- the sum of $ [insert value of your gift]
which I direct to be paid free of all expenses and duties of whatever kind and I express the wish that (but not the direction, as I understand that gifts must be unconditional) this Bequest be used for general purposes.
Directing your gift
Whilst you are free to direct your gift towards a particular purpose, we suggest you do not limit your gift by making it specific. A flexible bequest will achieve maximum impact, even if it isn’t realised for decades to come – it can be directed towards people in greatest need and support relevant, effective responses to changing contexts.
If you have already included Wellways in your will, we would love to know so we can thank you for your generous support and the impact this will have on the people we work with.

Types of Bequest
A gift of whatever is left of your estate after you have provided for your family and friends. This type of gift is often a percentage of your estate and remains proportionate to the value of your estate.
Because this type of gift keeps in step with inflation it will be worth as much tomorrow as today, and still enables you to ensure your loved ones are cared for.
Simply leave a set amount.
A gift or an item of value, such as shares, property or superannuation. It is preferable that such gifts are discussed with us first to ensure they can be used according to your wishes.
