We’re excited to announce our new partnership with Gathered Here, Australia’s most trusted free online will platform.
If you’d like to include a gift to RSL WA in your Will, you can now do so completely free, and it only takes a matter of minutes.
A gift in your Will allows you to make a meaningful contribution for future generations of WA veterans. Even if you haven't been able to donate during your lifetime, a gift in your Will provides a way to support a cause close to your heart.
Big or small, your gift will help us continue to support veterans with a range of services well into the future.
To leave a gift in your Will, follow these four easy steps to guide you through the process.
Step 1. Write or update your Will
We recommend seeking legal advice when creating or updating your Will. Prepare as many details of your finances as possible before seeing your solicitor. It may also help to sit down with your family beforehand and decide how much you could realistically afford to give as a gift.
At RSLWA, we have partnered with Gathered Here to help make the process as simple as possible. Gathered Here’s free and easy online Will writing service is backed by a team of legal experts. It takes less than 10minutes to write your Will and you can do so from the comfort of your own home. You’ll also have access to free updates for life.
There is no obligation to let us know, and you can change your mind at any time.

Step 2. Types of gifts
Residual Gift
A residuary gift is the most effective way to leave a gift in your Will to RSLWA. It’s the remainder of your estate after you have made provisions for your family and friends. A residuary gift also keeps up with inflation which means the gift will achieve as much in the future as it will now.
Percentage Gift
A percentage of your estate is the nominated portion or fixed percentage of your estate to RSLWA. A percentage gift also keeps up with inflation.
Pecuniary Gift
A pecuniary gift is a specific amount of money left for RSLWA.
Step 3. Suggested wording
I give and bequeath free of all duties and taxes,
1. The residue of my estate, or
2. XX% of my whole estate, or
3. XX% of the residue, or
4. The specific sum of $XX
To The Returned & Services League of Australia WA Branch Incorporated ABN 59 263 172 184 of 28 St Georges Terrace, Perth WA 6000 to be used for the general purposes of RSLWA and I declare that the official receipt of The Returned & Services League of Australia WA Incorporated shall be sufficient discharge of the same.
