Hunter and Braddon Lawyers has teamed with one of Australia’s favourite campaigns, Include a Charity, to encourage the public to leave a gift to a worthwhile cause this Include a Charity Week.
Kicking off on Monday 7 September 2015, Include a Charity Week (IaCW) returns in its fifth year to ask the nation to consider leaving a gift in their Will to their chosen charity.
According to Include a Charity, 87 per cent of people will support a charity in their lifetime, through taking up a challenge, attending an event or making a donation. IaC are asking people to continue this support after they’re gone and help their chosen charities continue their great work and make a positive impact to the lives of future generations.
This Include a Charity Week, start-up firm Hunter and Braddon Lawyers Sydney CBD will have a pop-up office at Westfield Hornsby – on the ground floor (near Woolworths) – for three weeks. In an Australian first, they’re giving Westfield shoppers the chance to leave a gift to their chosen charity and walk away with a professionally written Will for the special introductory rate of $99 (incl. GST) – a saving of over $250.
“Lawyers often get a bad rap,” says Nicholas Digges, founder and principal of Hunter and Braddon. “Include a Charity Week is a time when solicitors can help all charities with their causes and prove we’re not villains.”
For families, home-owners and international travellers alike, a Will is a crucial document to protect your assets and safeguard the financial future of your family. According to the NSW Trustee and Guardian, at least 45 per cent of Australians don’t have a valid Will, while making a Will is the only way a person can ensure their assets will be distributed according to their wishes when they die. Those who don’t have a Will or Next Of Kin will most likely have their estate passed on to the government.
