Allowah

Wills & Bequests

At Allowah, we couldn’t do what we do without the support of our friends in the community. As a not-for-profit organisation, we rely on the generosity of supporters to help us keep going.

A gift for generations to come

Bequests help us plan more effectively for the future and secure our work now. For more than 70 years, Allowah has served the community by supporting families for whom there is simply no other suitable alternative for care. With your help, we can continue to be there for these young people and their carers for many more years to come.

Making a will is an important thing to do – it gives you the opportunity to safeguard what is important to you and how you want your assets to be managed. It allows you the certainty of the lasting impact for others that you’ve put in place. And by letting us know that you’ve included us in your will, it gives us the opportunity to properly thank and acknowledge you.

Leaving a gift in your will is simple. All your executor needs is our ABN 47 776 809 174, registered name Presbyterian Social Services and business unit Allowah.

FAQs

Including Allowah in your will is a meaningful way to provide lasting support for children and young people with complex disabilities. Below are some common questions and answers to help guide you through the process.
How Do I Make a Gift in My Will to Allowah?

If you are creating your will for the first time, we recommend consulting a solicitor who specialises in wills and estates. However, you may choose to draft your own will using an online provider or by purchasing a will kit from a news agency or post office.

If you already have a will, the most cost-effective way to include a bequest to Allowah is by adding a short legal amendment called a codicil. Check with your solicitor to see if a codicil is appropriate for the updates you wish to make.

To leave a gift in your will, your executor will need the following details:
ABN: 47 776 809 174
Registered Name: Presbyterian Social Services
Business Unit: Allowah

If you’d like to learn more or have a confidential conversation, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Do I Need a Solicitor?

While some people choose to write their own wills using online kits or templates, we strongly recommend seeking professional legal advice. There are specific legal requirements for a will to be valid, and a solicitor can ensure that your wishes are properly documented and carried out.

Solicitor fees for drafting a will vary, so don’t hesitate to compare options to find the best fit for your needs.

Do I Have to Be Wealthy to Leave a Gift in My Will?

Not at all. Anyone can leave a gift in their will, and every contribution—big or small—makes a meaningful difference. Your generosity helps ensure Allowah can continue providing specialised care, therapy, and support for children and young people with disabilities.

What Types of Gifts Can I Leave in My Will?

You can leave a gift to Allowah in several ways, including:
💙 A Residual Gift – A percentage of what remains in your estate after other gifts and expenses have been distributed.
💙 A Specific Amount – A fixed sum of money allocated to Allowah.
💙 An Asset – Property, shares, or other valuable items.
💙 A Percentage of Your Estate – A nominated percentage of your overall estate.

Your solicitor can help determine the best way for you to structure your gift.
