Gift in Wills

Leave a gift in your Will

‍
When making a will, most of us first provide for the immediate and future needs of family and friends.

- Have you thought about what to do with what is left?
- Could it benefit vulnerable seniors in your community?
- Have you considered giving a gift in your will to STAR?

Leaving a gift in your will is a way of demonstrating to our elderly that they are not forgotten, that someone cares about them and wants to support them in their twilight years.

It is easy to leave a gift in your Will

Your Will is your decision, but it can be helpful to discuss with those close to you about a gift in your will for STAR Community Services. This helps them understand why you feel so strongly about giving this support.

How do you want to leave a gift in your will to STAR Community Services?

• Residual: Once you have provided for those close to you, you can leave a gift of the remainder or a percentage of that remainder of your estate.
• Detailed: You can simply state an exact amount in your will that you would like to gift to STAR Community Services.
• Asset: You could have real estate, shares or an item that you would like to go to STAR as a gift in your will.

“I had literally no money. Lunch club was the only time I left the house but I couldn’t afford to keep going. I started going less and less until I stopped altogether. When I discussed with a volunteer why I had stopped attending, STAR was able to give me free transport so that I could still attend and talk to my friends.”  

“Before STAR, I would miss some of my doctors’ appointments because it was difficult to walk to the bus stop and I was afraid of falling. Other transport options were too expensive. I’d also make my food last a little longer because it was too painful to shop by myself.” Paul
