Bequests
Your bequest is a legacy for future generations. It ensures integrity, authenticity and longevity in the work undertaken by Transport Heritage NSW.
​
You may wish to leave a legacy by gifting funds or items to THNSW directly in your Will. If you are creating or updating your Will, we suggest contacting a legal advisor to ensure your Will is valid and your wishes are expressed correctly.
SUGGESTED WORDING FOR A BEQUEST
​
The following guidelines may be used in consultation with your advisors when drafting or updating your Will.
​
Unrestricted Bequest
​
“I give [my estate] or [portion/the residue of my estate] or [the sum of $___] to Transport Heritage NSW (THNSW) for its general purposes. I declare that the receipt of the authorised officer of THNSW for the gift shall be sufficient discharge to my trustees.”
​
Specific Purpose Bequest
​
“I give [my estate] or [portion/the residue of my estate] or [the sum of $___] to Transport Heritage NSW (THNSW) and I express the wish without creating a binding trust that the funds be used and applied for the purposes of _______________________ or, if the purpose no longer exists, for a similar purpose at the discretion of THNSW. I declare that the receipt of the authorised officer of THNSW for the gift shall be sufficient discharge to my trustees.”
​
Please note, while THNSW cannot offer legal advice, we can answer your questions about the life-changing good a gift in your Will would do.
​
If you prefer to direct your gift for a specific purpose, please contact us to discuss how best to fulfil your legacy wishes.
