Wording your bequest

 
Wording your gift
While it is a simple process to include a gift to the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research in your Will, it is important that it is worded carefully to ensure your wishes are carried out correctly.
 
Sample wording is given here simply as a guide and we strongly recommend that you seek the advice of a solicitor to ensure that your gift is clearly and legally stated.
