By including a gift to AAPS in your Will, you can help start many life-changing journeys for rescue pets and for families looking to adopt. By leaving a bequest, you will be providing veterinary care, rehabilitation and rehoming services for animals in need long after your lifetime.
Your bequest could include a percentage of your estate (residue) after you have provided for family and friends or you may prefer to leave real estate, assets, a specific monetary amount, or shares etc. It is important that the correct wording is used, and that the correct title of ‘Australian Animal Protection Society’ is stated (rather than ‘The Keysborough Animal Shelter’, which is a colloquial term).
We strongly suggest that you consult a solicitor to ensure that your intentions are clear. Subject to more detailed advice from a solicitor, AAPS suggests inclusion of the bequest text, which you can find in our brochure.
For a confidential discussion about making a bequest to AAPS, please get in touch with the Shelter on (03) 9798 8415 and ask for a Committee Member to contact you.
