Step 1
Speak to your family and loved ones. This is a personal decision for you to make, but we recommend letting your family know that you are planning to leave a gift to Ngāti Porou Hauora so they are aware of your decision.
Step 2
Decide what kind of gift to leave.
There are three main ways to leave a Gift in your Will to Ngāti Porou Hauora.
Residual: You can make a gift of the remainder, or a percentage of the remainder, of your estate once your loved ones and expenses have been taken care of.
Specific: You can make a specific bequest by simply stating the dollar amount in your Will that you wish to leave to Ngāti Porou Hauora.
Asset: You may wish to make a gift of a specific asset, for example real estate, shares or bonds, or an item of particular value.
Step 3
Get the help of a professional solicitor. Ngāti Porou Hauora recommend that you consult a solicitor before writing, or updating your Will.
Step 4
Making your Will. To include your chosen gift to Ngāti Porou Hauora when you write your Will, provide your solicitor with the following wording:
“I ...... bequeath to Ngāti Porou Hauora, Charity number: CC46526 (insert the percentage or residue of your client’s estate, the amount of money, or the details of assets your client wishes to leave). My bequest is to be used for the general purposes of Ngāti Porou Hauora. I declare that the receipt of the Secretary or other proper officer shall be a complete discharge of my bequest.”
