LEGACIES - MAKING A BEQUEST IN YOUR WILL

A gift in your will is a positive way to invest in the future through The Methodist Mission. A bequest is more than a gift of money.

that will outlast it" - William James

Your will is the means by which you ensure that your possessions are distributed in keeping with your values after you are gone. For many people a Will is an opportunity to invest in a future for others, or in the continuation of a life's commitment.

A bequest to The Methodist Mission is an investment in the future of the people we work with. It enables The Methodist Mission, in partnership with your gift, to provide opportunities for change and social justice within our community, for families, whanau, children, and individuals.

There are different kinds of bequests:

Percentage: a gift that is stated as a percentage of your estate.

Specific: a gift of a fixed sum of money, property, stocks and shares, works of art or other taonga.

Residual: a gift that leaves all or a portion of your estate after debts, taxes, and other bequests and fees.

Deferred: a gift that provides for relatives or friends during their lifetimes, but also benefits The Methodist Mission afterwards.

We invite you to join the growing number of people committed to the lasting work of The Methodist Mission.

We would love to recognize your generosity and invite you to let us know that you have arranged or are considering a bequest to The Methodist Mission.
