After making provision for your family and loved ones, you can choose to give part or the balance of your estate to Stroke Foundation.

A residual legacy is what is left of your estate after all of your wishes have been carried out and expenses in finalising your estate have been met. It is a popular choice for many of our supporters as it allows you to first leave gifts to your loved ones and pay any financial commitments. It also automatically adjusts to changes in the value of your Estate.

If you wish to leave a residual legacy, ask your solicitor to insert the following clause into your Will:

I give free of all duties or taxes the residue of my estate to the Stroke Foundation (ABN 42 006 173 379) for its general purposes. The official receipt of the organisation shall be a full and sufficient discharge to my executor.

If you wish to leave a percentage of residual legacy, ask your solicitor to insert the following clause into your Will:

I give free of all duties or taxes [insert number] % of the residue of my estate. to the Stroke Foundation (ABN 42 006 173 379) for its general purposes. The official receipt of the organisation shall be a full and sufficient discharge to my executor.
