Bequests

Your gift to Pulteney Grammar School through a bequest will help shape the future of the school by contributing to investments in new buildings, teaching programs, scholarships and the endowment fund.

Making a bequest to Pulteney is a simple process that can be done when you make or update your Will. You can leave a percentage of your estate as a residual bequest or specify a particular sum of money, property, or shares. We also accept donations of gifts in kind.

Yes, we always recommend that you seek legal advice from your solicitor before making any changes to your Will. Doing so ensures that your wishes follow your legal obligations and that your legacy to Pulteney Grammar School is structured most effectively and meaningfully.

Adding a bequest to Pulteney Grammar School to your existing Will is straightforward. You can do so by using a codicil, a legal document allowing you to make minor changes to your Will without creating a new one from scratch. We can provide you with a pro forma codicil, a pre-drafted template you can use to add the bequest to your existing Will. Please note you can remain anonymous or keep the gift amount undisclosed. It’s always recommended to seek legal advice from your solicitor to ensure the codicil is properly executed and accurately reflects your intentions.

We deeply appreciate your support and are always here to assist you with any questions or concerns regarding your bequest intentions.
