September is Wills Month, a timely reminder to make sure you have a Will or it’s up to date reflecting what matters to you and your wishes. For some people, a Will is also an opportunity to support a cause that has been meaningful to them during their lifetime.

At Dove Hospice & Wellness, we are incredibly grateful to those who choose to leave a gift to Dove in their Will. After taking care of the people closest to you, a gift to Dove can be a meaningful way to leave a lasting legacy in your community.

Bequests play an important role in the long-term sustainability of our care and services. Gifts of all sizes can help ensure Dove continues to be here for people with life-limiting illness and their whānau, providing care and support at no cost for years to come.

Two ways to get your Will sorted this September

This Wills Month, Dove Hospice & Wellness is pleased to offer two options to help make writing or updating your Will easier.

Complimentary Will-writing with Duncan Cotterill

We’re pleased to offer complimentary Will-writing services during the month of September in partnership with Duncan Cotterill’s Auckland office.

This opportunity is available to those who wish to include a legacy gift to Dove Hospice & Wellness in their estate planning. By participating, you’ll receive expert legal assistance with a Will at no cost, while helping support the future of Dove’s care and services in our community (terms and conditions apply*).

Write your Will online with EveryWill

Through our partnership with EveryWill, you can create a legally valid Will online from home in around 10 minutes, at no cost.

EveryWill is designed to make estate planning simple and accessible, and your Will can be updated online in the future at no charge.

As part of the process, you will have the option to include a gift to Dove Hospice & Wellness. This is entirely optional, and there is no requirement to leave a gift to Dove to use the complimentary service.

Create your Will with EveryWill.

Whether you’re writing your first Will or updating an existing one, Wills Month is a good opportunity to make sure your wishes are recorded and your Will reflects what matters most to you.
