Consider Perron Institute in your Will. Your gift of hope could benefit millions.
Thank you for thinking of the Perron Institute for your Will and choosing to give the gift of hope to millions living with devastating neurological conditions.
As a charity, Perron Institute relies on your support to ensure the continuance of our research and treatment for people living with neurological and neuromuscular disorders.
Making a Will is one of the most important personal acts undertaken. At Perron Institute, we understand leaving a gift to medical research is a personal decision and there are several matters you may need to consider. We have provided information below to help answer some of your initial questions. You can also read our brochure “Invest in the Future of WAs Medical Research” which explains some of the ways in which you can help support medical research in your Will.
A bequest made in your name or the name of a loved one allows your name to live on. Bequests are also a tax efficient way to support our continuing medical research that makes a difference in the lives of Australians and the wider community who live with neurological conditions.
We encourage you to seek advice from a solicitor or tax consultant about leaving a gift in your Will.
A percentage of your Estate: this is often regarded as the most flexible way to give as you don’t have to adjust the value of your gift to account for inflation, or changes to your total assets.
The residue of your Estate: this is a gift of whatever is left in your Estate after you have taken care of your loved ones.
Fixed amount of your Estate: leaving a specific sum; this type of bequest may need to be changed over the years to account for inflation and changes to your circumstances.
Sponsor a research project, laboratory, board room as a living gift or memorial gift: these can be ‘sponsored’ in favour of a family member, friend, colleague etc. Terms and conditions to be agreed.
