Wording for your Will
If you haven’t written your Will yet, and want to add Oxfam, here’s a guide on the most effective wording. Feel free to show this to your solicitor when visiting them.
“I give, free of all duties and taxes, to Oxfam Aotearoa (Charity registration number CC24641):
Choose among the following:
- X% of my Estate
- The rest and residue of my Estate
- The sum of $… (fixed amount)
- Details of a particular asset (such as shares or property)
… for its general purposes. An authorised receipt from Oxfam Aotearoa will be a sufficient discharge for the executor(s) or trustee(s).”
