September is Wills Month, a nationwide initiative that encourages people to make sure their wills are up to date and reflect the people and causes they care about most.
While providing for loved ones will always be the priority, many people are surprised to learn that leaving a gift in their will is one of the most achievable ways to support the community they love. Whether it's a specific amount, a percentage of an estate, or what remains after family have been provided for, a charitable bequest can create a lasting impact for generations to come.
This September, local law firms Nolans Lawyers and Woodward Chrisp are once again generously offering free will amendments for people who wish to include a gift to Sunrise Foundation in their will.
Woodward Chrisp Director Ellie FitzGerald has been involved with Sunrise since its early days and has seen firsthand the difference that planned giving can make.
"From the very beginning, I have been a strong supporter of Sunrise Foundation and seen it grow into a trusted place for local giving. I was privileged to act for Gavin McFarlane, Sunrise's first bequest donor, and I've seen how simple the process is and how powerful the impact can be." says Ellie.
“Since its inception, Woodward Chrisp has acted for numerous clients who have chosen to leave a bequest to Sunrise and we have seen how rewarding choosing to make a gift to the local community has been, both to those giving and to the local community receiving the benefit of their generosity.”
