Solicitor and Executor Information

We have prepared some suggested wording that can be inserted into your client’s Will.

Legal Name of Entity

Telethon Kids Institute

ABN:  86 009 278 755

Address: 15 Hospital Avenue, Nedlands, Western Australia 6009

Unconditional gift of a sum of money, asset, or residue

If you choose to include Telethon Kids, you may wish to use this wording:

“I give [insert your gift] to Telethon Kids Institute of 15 Hospital Avenue, Nedlands, Western Australia ABN 86 009 278 755, to be applied for unrestricted general charitable purposes. In respect of such legacy, I direct that the receipt of a duly authorised officer shall be a sufficient discharge to my Executors.”

Because health priorities change over time, we encourage you to consider making your gift to Telethon Kids “unrestricted” to address the most pressing health issues of the day. Alternatively, of course, you are most welcome to direct your gift to area of research close to your heart. Please contact us so that we may ensure your wishes are carried out.
