HOW TO LEAVE A BEQUEST TO AMNESTY<br />

INTERNATIONAL AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND<br />

Leaving a legacy to <strong>Amnesty</strong> <strong>International</strong> isn’t complicated and needn’t be<br />

expensive. Whether you already have a Will or not, here’s a brief outline <strong>of</strong><br />

what needs to be done to include us in y<strong>our</strong> wishes. We recommend that<br />

whether you’re thinking <strong>of</strong> making a new Will, or updating an existing one, you<br />

consult a solicitor or pr<strong>of</strong>essional advisor. They’ll make sure y<strong>our</strong> Will is valid<br />

and that y<strong>our</strong> intentions are clearly and legally stated.<br />

IF YOU DON’T YET HAVE A WILL<br />

You have three choices <strong>of</strong> bequest you may like to make:<br />

1) Leaving us a specific amount.<br />

2) Leaving us a percentage <strong>of</strong> y<strong>our</strong> estate.<br />

3) Leaving us the residue <strong>of</strong> y<strong>our</strong> estate (anything left over after you’ve met<br />

y<strong>our</strong> personal commitments).<br />

IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A WILL<br />

You can easily update it with a codicil - an additional clause that includes y<strong>our</strong><br />

bequest, and complies with all the requirements <strong>of</strong> a valid Will.<br />
