We hope people take personal pride in knowing their gifts have a lasting impact on the lives of others.

What kind of gift can I leave?

  • A residual gift 

This is a percentage of the remainder of your estate after your debts are paid and specific gifts are distributed to loved ones named in your will. The remainder (or proportion of the remainder of your estate will be gifted to RACQ CapRescue. This type of gift retains its value over time (inflation will not reduce its value).

  • A pecuniary/ fixed gift  

This is a specific amount or asset. Due to inflation, the value of a specific amount will decline over time. Your solicitor can advise you of ways to ensure the gift retains its relative value.

Three easy steps in preparing your will

Step 1: Consider how you would like to share your assets

We recommend you speak to your family about your wishes, with adequate provision for your loved ones. If you do decide to include a gift to RACQ CapRescue, we can ensure that it achieves your goals. Please contact our Donor Liaison Officer on 07 4922 9093 for a confidential discussion about the future.

Step 2: Seek independent advice

It’s always a good idea to speak with a specialist, such as a solicitor, a trustee company or the Public Trustee. They will ensure your will meets all legal requirements, guaranteeing your wishes will be carried out in the future.
