Camberwell Community Wills Day

Date & time 

FAQs:

How does it work?

Honoured Friend Solicitors assist the community by donating their time to help people prepare a simple Will. 

• This is usually from one spouse/partner to another, from a parent to children, from one person to another, or to one or more charities.
• Spouse/partners must have separate Wills.
• Requests for repeated amendments to the Will prior to signing may incur a fee being charged by the Solicitor.
• Community Wills Days do not include the preparation of Wills where a great amount of property, trusts or complex legal matters such as business assets, overseas assets, self-managed superannuation or life insurance exist (in this case, we suggest you call us on 1800 337 082 to discuss and provide some options).

What if I need other documentation such as an Enduring Power of Attorney?

Your simple Will appointment does not include any other documentation, however our supporting Solicitors are able to assist and discuss fees and options with you.  It is then at your discretion if you choose to proceed.  If you do require an Enduring Power of Attorney or Enduring Power of Guardianship, please let us know in advance so we can allocate extra time for your appointment.

Do I need to bring ID with me?

Yes, please bring proof of identification (ideally photographic).

Do I have to leave a gift (bequest) to The Salvation Army?

Please consider leaving a gift of 5%-10% in your will to The Salvation Army. Your generosity will help us provide critical support to those facing homelessness, domestic violence, addiction, unemployment, and natural disasters - challenges that create immense stress and hardship in our communities. Your legacy will ensure that we can continue to be there for the growing number of people in need, offering hope and practical assistance when it matters most.

What is the Honoured Friend Program?

By leaving a Gift in your Will to The Salvation Army you will be joining a group of like-minded individuals who, like yourself, are committed to ensuring that the kindness and compassion you have lived by will go on helping others now and in the future.

When you let us know that you have included The Salvation Army in your Will, we like to honour your kindness and generosity. You will be welcomed as an Honoured Friend and if you wish, you will receive invitations to special functions, tours and access to many of the programs we run for the Australian community. 

Thank you for supporting the work of The Salvation Army and giving Hope where its need most.
