Leave a Legacy
We welcome all gifts, large or small.
You don’t need a lot of money to leave a gift to the Oamaru Whitestone Civic Trust. Any financial donation to our Legacy Fund will be appreciated and used wisely.
Money from bequests are particularly valuable to us for maintaining and interpreting our heritage properties and maintaining our collection of historic and precious items.
Remember, gifts left to charities in wills are exempt from any inheritance or capital gains tax.
There are four main types of gifts you can leave to a charity. Talk to your lawyer about what suits you and your estate best.
Bequests: a gift of property or money given through a will following someone's death.
Residual: The remainder of your estate after considering your loved ones.
Pecuniary or specific: A specified gift which can be money, property or stocks and shares.
Whole estate: This comprises your entire estate and is usually left by those without beneficiaries or those wanting to achieve something very significant.
