Plan a gift in your will

• A gift of cash, either through a percentage (residual) of your estate or an exact amount (pecuniary).
• Property
• Shares
• Other assets, such as jewellery
• RMHC WA can also be nominated as the beneficiary of a Superannuation Fund. We advise you speak to your super fund and/or solicitor to ensure this is distributed as per your wishes.

Yes, while RMHC WA is part of a national and global network, we are an independent organisation. All gifts will remain in Western Australia and be used in our mission.

Your gift will help keep families together during the most difficult times in their lives.

Your gift will provide supported accommodation for families who are required to travel to Perth Children’s Hospital for medical care, as well as wraparound programs to support the learning and wellbeing of sick or injured children and their families – 24/7, 365 days a year.

Your gift can be as individual as you are, and we want to honour you and your intentions in an appropriate way.

We urge you to contact Susan, who assists in donor care, to discuss your intentions before making a gift that is restricted to a specific use. Susan can support you, and your solicitor, in creating a gift that RMHC WA can use in the way you intend.

Contact Susan today.

Using a solicitor to help prepare or update you will is important. Your solicitor will work with you to ensure the causes and people you love benefit from your Will as you wish. A current, valid will is a gift to your loved ones as it makes your wishes clear and will help minimise the risk of disputes about your intentions.

If you choose to make a gift to RMHC WA, we have wording that we recommend including in your will. You can click here to print this key information.

You are not obligated to inform us of your decision, but we encourage you to do so. We want to make sure we have a full understanding of your wishes, so when the time comes to activate your gift, the RMHC WA staff at the time will have all the information they need to see your gift used to its full potential.

A residual gift is a percentage of your estate, after all your other wishes have been fulfilled and expenses met. The value of a residual gift will rise with inflation, so it will be worth as much to us tomorrow as it is today. As this kind of gift doesn’t decrease with inflation, it is the most efficient way to support RMHC WA.

A pecuniary gift is a specific dollar value set at the time you make your will. The value of pecuniary gift will decrease over time, as inflation and the cost of living increases over time.
