Leaving a percentage

Over the years, the extent of your Estate may vary, but the chosen share of your Estate will remain the same. You can choose what proportion of your Estate you would like to go to your chosen beneficiaries and in the priority of importance you may see fit.

Leaving a specific Bequest

This gift may refer to a sum of money or a gift of jewellery art, shares or property.

Leaving the residue

The residue of an Estate is whatever is remaining after you have named specific bequest.

Leaving the whole estate

You may like to leave the Cerebral Palsy League all of your Estate. Your Estate can be used in specific areas. Please share your plans with us so we can make sure that your money is spent in the way in which you would approve.

Leaving insurance

Another form of gifting can by done through the donation of a life insurance policy. Many people started out in life with a small insurance policy. Through superannuation benefits and other estate planning, these insurance policies do not always represent a significant amount to estate planning. You can name the Cerebral Palsy League as the beneficiary whilst still leaving your family financially well cared for.

Leaving a planned gift

Your may gift your property to the Cerebral Palsy League whilst you are still alive by transferring your place of residence or additional property over to the League. You maintain all repairs, rates etc on your property and on your death your premises remains the property of the League. This gifting can be of benefit to the donor when wishing to retain government support. This type of gift requires a solicitor to draw up a legal document.

Trusts

The term “Trust” applies to any situation where a person or an organisation is appointed to hold money on behalf of another. Trusts can be established for a number of reasons. They can be established by a “Deed” while you are still alive or by a “Will” after your death.

Cerebral Palsy League of Queensland Foundation

This Foundation is a perpetual fund managed and administered by the Queensland Community Foundation where the capital is invested by the Trustees. The income from the interest earned or dividends paid is then utilised by the League for services and equipment.

Support

If you are undecided on how you feel you would like to assist us and would like to discuss any of this with our donor relations manager we can arrange a confidential meeting. At this time you can comfortably raise any issue you wish. In many cases we find people feel easier and more comfortabe when we come to you and again this can be easily arranged.
