THE BILLION-DOLLAR QUESTION EVERY SOLICITOR SHOULD ASK WHEN WRITING A WILL
Two thirds of Australians
EITHER DEFINITELY WANT TO LEAVE SOMETHING TO CHARITY OR ARE UNDECIDED.
Only one in twelve
CURRENTLY DO INCLUDE A BEQUEST TO CHARITY IN THEIR WILL.
The reason for this intention-action gap
AUSTRALIAN SOLICITORS RARELY ASK CLIENTS ABOUT CHARITABLE BEQUESTS.
If they did, the data shows charities would receive at least a billion dollars more every year.
You don’t have to push charitable bequests, just ask clients if they’d like to consider one. (The study also showed most people have no problem at all being asked.)
The difference one simple question can make is staggering. Not only will it help more Australians get the Wills they want, it’ll help more charities have more money to do more good.
