Suggested wording for a Will

Section for Solicitor

A clause in your will in favour of Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind will ensure that your gift will reach us at a future date. Your generosity will help people achieve independence and a better quality of life.

Below is a sample wording to include in a charitable bequest in a will:

For a gift of the residue of an estate:

“I give to (insert name of organisation) of (insert address of organisation), all (or a fraction) of the residue of my estate whatsoever and wheresoever, and I direct that the receipt of the Treasurer or other officer for the time being of the said Organisation shall be a full and sufficient discharge of the same.”

For a gift of a fixed sum or specific item:

“I give the sum of €_______ or I bequeath (the item specified) to (insert name of organisation) of (insert address of organisation), and I direct that the receipt of the Treasurer or other proper officer for the time being of the said Organisation shall be proper and sufficient discharge for the same.”

Without the support of kind people like you we could not create life-changing partnerships between people and our amazing dogs.

Thank you for considering such a wonderful and life-changing gift.
