Leave a Gift in Your Will

Gifts in Wills have played an important role in Wolper’s story for many years. Whether large or modest, every gift leaves a lasting legacy and helps us continue caring for patients and supporting the wider community.

After providing for those closest to you, by remembering Wolper Jewish Hospital in your Will, you can help ensure that future generations receive the compassionate, dignified and exceptional care that has been at the heart of Wolper for more than 60 years. 

A bequest is a lasting gift made through your Will. It provides an opportunity to support others and create a meaningful legacy beyond your lifetime. Gifts in Wills help fund new equipment, enhance patient care, improve facilities and support future generations of patients and their families.

If you have a particular area of care you would like to support, we would be pleased to discuss your wishes with you. We generally recommend wording gifts for Wolper’s general purposes, as this gives the Hospital flexibility to apply your gift where it is most needed at the time it is received.

 

How to Leave a Gift in Your Will

We recommend seeking professional legal advice when preparing or updating your Will. A Will must be carefully planned, drawn up, and executed to ensure your wishes will be effectively carried out.

 

If You Do Not Yet Have a Will

Simply prepare a list of your assets and liabilities and consult a solicitor, who can help you create a Will that reflects your wishes.

 

If You Already Have a Will

You can still include a gift to Wolper Jewish Hospital by adding an amendment to your existing Will. Your solicitor can assist with this process.
