three easy ways to leave a legacy to four paws

It's never easier to make a lasting impact for animals.

1. Create a new Will

Leaving a gift in your Will is much easier than many people think. To draw up a new Will, either talk to your lawyer or use a do-it-yourself Will kit provided by the Public Trustee in your state. 

2. Include a codicil

If you already have a Will, you may choose to speak to your lawyer about adding a codicil. A codicil is simply an amendment to your Will that alters, explains, adds to, or otherwise updates it in any way.

3. Write your Will for free with Gathered Here

To make a gift in your Will even easier, we have partnered with Gathered Here, Australia's top-rated online Wills platform. This is a free and simple step-by-step online Will writing service. Through your kind support, FOUR PAWS can continue to rescue and protect neglected, mistreated, and abused animals through our missions and sanctuaries.
