Bequests

We all would like to leave this world knowing we have made a difference.

Making a Will ensures that everything you have worked hard for in your life is passed onto your loved ones and the causes you care about. A bequest is a lasting legacy that continues.

You can help NETS continue its life saving service by making a bequest to NETS in your Will.

There are two bequest options:

Residual Bequest:

A residual bequest is the remainder of your estate after all other bequests and expenses have been deducted.

Suggested Wording:

'I give the residue of my estate to NETS, a statewide service of NSW Health managed by the SYDNEY CHILDREN'S HOSPITALS NETWORK to be used for the general purposes of the NETS. I declare that the receipt of the treasurer or other proper officer of SYDNEY CHILDREN'S HOSPITALS NETWORK shall be sufficient discharge to my executor.'

Pecuniary Bequest:

A Pecuniary bequest represents a designated dollar amount; such as $10,000.

Suggested Wording:

'I give $.......... to NETS, a statewide service of NSW Health managed by the SYDNEY CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL NETWORK to be used for the general purposes of NETS and I declare that the receipt of the treasurer or other proper officer of SYDNEY CHILDREN'S HOSPITALS NETWORK shall be sufficient discharge to my executor.'

It is very important that you use the appropriate wording when including a bequest in your Will.

The above suggested wording is a sample to provide to your solicitor.

If you would like to leave a bequest to NETS in your Will we recommend you discuss the type of bequest you intend to provide to NETS with your family and solicitor prior to finalising your Will.
