How To Make A Gift In Your Will To Odyssey House NSW

Organising your Will is one of the most important things that you will ever do. Your Will protects your family and loved ones and ensures your estate is divided as you intended it. Including Odyssey House NSW in your, Will is a meaningful way to contribute to our ability to assist with a growing need in the community.

If you wish, you can specify how your bequest will be used or you can leave it to Odyssey House to determine where your gift would be most needed.

To assist you and your solicitor, we have provided some examples of wording, including the correct legal name should you wish to make a bequest.

It is advisable to specify a proportion, rather than an actual amount as it is very difficult to predict what your estate will be worth in the future.
