Your Will can support your community forever

The Team from Momentum Waikato

Writing your Will is one of the few moments in life when you can choose to commit to giving significant financial support to the things you really care about in your community and across the world. Your decisions about what will happen to your money and assets after you are gone are an opportunity … View moreWriting your Will is one of the few moments in life when you can choose to commit to giving significant financial support to the things you really care about in your community and across the world. Your decisions about what will happen to your money and assets after you are gone are an opportunity to make a real difference.

That’s the central proposition of The Bequest Report, newly published by financial advisors JBWere New Zealand.

Their research points to a curious anomaly of Kiwis’ generosity – our giving to charities over our lifetimes is relatively high by international standards, and yet the number of charitable ‘gifts in Wills’ is quite low here, when compared to bequest rates in equivalent countries.

This matters, because with the Baby Boomers beginning to pass away, the Western world is at the start of the largest-ever inter-generational transfer of wealth.

The Bequest Report is therefore intended to be a ‘call to action’, for all New Zealanders to leave a portion of their estates to charitable organisations, so that our society as a whole benefits from this moment in history.

What are the key researched facts in the Report that confirm this development?

Rolling up their sleeves and getting stuck into a ANZAC woodwork project has been the perfect way to forge a friendship, say Patrick Hogan Village residents Roger and Tony.

“We’ve made eight soldiers and 20 poppies plus the smaller poppies that go on the soldiers’ chests which we will place around the gardens and outside the resident lounge here,” Roger says, agreeing that they will make a perfect backdrop for the village’s planned remembrance morning tea.
