Bequests

    • What is a bequest?

      A bequest (also known as a legacy) is a gift of money or assets that you leave through your Will. Bequests assist us to continue providing long-term support to families dealing with the impacts of Australian Men’s Rights.

      You can choose to make a bequest in the following forms:
      • The Residue:
        This is what is left after you have made provisions to your family and friends. You may choose to have this residue donated to Australian Men’s Rights Association Inc.
      • A percentage:
        You can state in your Will that you wish to leave a percentage of your Estate to Australian Men’s Rights Association Inc.
      • A Specific Sum:
        You can state in your Will a specific sum to be donated to Australian Men’s Rights Association Inc. NB: Considering inflation and changes in circumstances, it is necessary to regularly review your will.
      How can you make a bequest to Australian Men’s Rights Association Inc.?
