Gifts in Wills
Our Promise Your Legacy.
These words became a century-long promise to the thousands of Australian men and women who had made the sacrifice for their country.
Legacy was established in Western Australia in 1928. Since its inception, we have dedicated our mission to serving the families of veterans who have made the ultimate sacrifice. This has only been possible due to the dedicated and generous support from the public over the years. Thanks to them, people like you, that battlefield promise is kept to this day.
“I’ll look after the missus and kids.”
We believe that your Will is a personal matter. That’s why we will always respect your privacy.
We believe that your family and your loved ones should come first.
We will never take your generous decision for granted. You will always be treated with respect and care.
We understand that choosing to include a gift in your Will is your decision. And yours alone.
We will handle your gift with wisdom and integrity, so that you will have made the biggest difference possible for the families of those who lost their life or their health serving our country.
While we would love to hear from you to thank you and celebrate you, telling us that you’ve included Legacy WA in your Willl is entirely up to you. There is no obligation for you to let us know about your gift, however, please know that it does help us plan for the future.
Just as it is your decision to choose to include Legacy WA in your Will, you have the right to change your mind at any time.
