Remembering Buy a Bale in your will is a wonderful gift and is one that will change the lives of others. Planning for the future is important and your decision to leave a bequest is an enduring investment that can be directed to a range of vital rural programs and initiatives.
We are grateful and humbled by those who wish to leave a legacy to rural australia through our organisation, no matter the size or amount they are able to give. We rely on the power of individuals giving together to help us and we hope to be able to count you among our wonderful bequestors.
What can I bequeath?
A bequest to Rural Aid can come in a number of forms:
- A specific sum of money or nominated asset such as a house or other land, shares and other investments, life insurance, works of art or other valuables.
- A bequest of your entire estate, or percentage of your entire estate (after all debts and expenses have been paid).
- A residual bequest, or a specified share or percentage of your residuary estate, after all debts and expenses have been paid, and other gifts distributed.
- Your property, (such as a house) can pass to Rural Aid after having been used or occupied by a primary beneficiary during their lifetime. Buy a Bale would receive this only after a specified period or after the nominated person has passed.
