The following are examples of suggested wording for leaving a gift in your Will to RSPCA Queensland, and we do recommend you be guided by your solicitor.
Whole of Estate
Suggested wording for your Will
I give to The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Queensland Limited (ABN 74 851 544 037) of 139 Wacol Station Road, Wacol Queensland 4076, the whole of my estate for the general purposes of the RSPCA Queensland. I declare the receipt of the RSPCA will be sufficient discharge for my Trustees.
Residue of Your Estate
After gifts to others have been taken care of, and all costs have been dealt with, the residue of your estate – everything that remains – is then left to RSPCA Queensland to protect animals long into the future.
