Information for solicitors and executors

The most important details are:

• Registered name: Mission Australia
• ABN: 15 000 002 522

Please ensure your client’s Will uses the current name. If an older name is used (see “Previous names” below), update it.

Residual gift example:

I give ________% of the residue of my Estate to Mission Australia – (ABN 15 000 002 522) for its general purposes, free of all duties and declare that the receipt of an executive officer at the time shall be sufficient discharge of my executor’s duty.

Pecuniary gift example:

I give $_________ to Mission Australia – (ABN 15 000 002 522) for its general purposes, free of all duties and declare that the receipt of an executive officer at the time shall be sufficient discharge of my executor’s duty.

We recommend directing gifts to “the general purposes of Mission Australia.”

This provides flexibility so the gift can be used where it is most needed.

If a gift is directed toward a specific purpose, we will make every effort to honour it, but overly narrow requests may be difficult to fulfil.

If your client is open to it, Mission Australia would be honoured to thank them personally.

We appreciate your support in the estate process. To help us:

• Tell us about the gift as soon as possible so we can update our records.
• Provide a copy of the Will and, if appropriate, Probate documents.
• Ask us for any extra information you may need from Mission Australia.
• Share the story of the person who made the gift - we would love to thank their loved ones if appropriate.
