A Will, even if you think that it’s not worth it because you’re not wealthy, is the best way to safeguard the future of the people and the causes you care about. Your Will may be the most important personal document you ever sign, because it governs the administration and disposal of all that you have striven for in life.

Without a Will, your estate is wound up and the assets distributed according to the laws of Intestate Succession. Family heirlooms and items of sentimental value may be sold in order to divide the assets.

No-one outside your family will receive anything, not even your friends or the charities you have been supporting for years. This may also result in people receiving a portion whom you did not wish to benefit. It also means that your family won’t have to face sorting out the legal muddle you’ll leave if you don’t make a Will.

There is no good reason not to make a Will.

HOW WILL MY BEQUEST HELP TO PROTECT ANIMALS?

• The SPCA movement is not government funded.
• The SPCA movement is reliant on donations of caring, supportive individuals like you to continue our work.
• The SPCA is uncovering more and more cases of cruelty to animals, which we fight 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
• We are also under continually increasing pressure to provide free or subsidised veterinary services to indigent people and to residents of areas where there are no State or private veterinary services.
• SPCAs do not turn any needy animals away, which means that the numbers of un­wanted, aban­doned and stray animals grow daily.
• The cost of maintaining our facilities and services places a heavy financial burden on our shoulders.
• The cost of education is also high. It carries a high value in changing the way people think about and care for animals.
