Bequests

Making a Bequest to The Freemasons Charity:

Making a bequest is very easy as all you have to do is include an appropriate clause in your Will. A Will ensures your wishes are met in relation to the distribution of your assets it also helps to avoid confusion over your intentions and gives you peace of mind.

A bequest has a number of advantages as:

• It is not payable until death so it does not affect your assets or cash flow during your lifetime.
• It is private as your will is not filed or made public until your death.
• It is revocable as you can change the provisions in your will or trust at any time until death.
  

Your solicitor can assist you in making a bequest which can be any of the following:

• A specified sum of money.
• A percentage of your estate.
• The residue of your estate.
• Specified property or assets.

A simple form of bequest that can be used by anyone wishing to bequeath money for the benefit of the Charitable Funds of Grand Lodge is:

I give the sum of $……to the Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of New Zealand for the benefit of The Freemasons Charity, and I direct the receipt of the Grand Secretary for the time being of the said Grand Lodge shall be sufficient discharge to my Trustees.
