Bequeath to the ACRS:
Types of bequests:
- Percentage bequest: A percentage bequest lets you allocate certain percentages of the proceeds from your estate to specific people. This eliminates the problem of estimating asset value, inflation, and damage to property. If the value of your estate changes, for example, you can still ensure your beneficiaries each receive a fair amount.
- Residual bequest: This type of bequest lets you leave a gift for whatever is left of your estate after all your other bequests are fulfilled. For example, you can nominate a given residual amount of your estate to be distributed to non-profits of your choice. Like percentage bequests, this type of gift is calculated from the value of your estate after debts, costs, liabilities, tax, and other costs have been paid.
- Specific and pecuniary bequests: This is a straightforward way to bequest specific assets to beneficiaries such as shares, cash, jewellery and art. You can also specify a given amount of money to be given to particular beneficiaries.
- A Life Interest: This type of bequest lets you leave a property or interest on a capital sum invested to a loved one to use during their lifetime, which will then pass onto another beneficiary after this who you’ve nominated in your will.
