The Hockey Foundation would also love to hear from anyone keen to make a bequest in their will. It’s easy to do.

Just download our bequest information sheet for the details of what to advise your lawyer to include in your will documents.

Alternatively, just advise your lawyer to include the following wording in your will: “I give and bequeath to the Hockey Foundation for their work in improving the health of Kiwis through the growth and development of hockey in New Zealand [list here the percentage of estate, residue of estate or specific amount of money or items], free of all death and estate duties and I declare that the official receipt of the Foundation shall be a full and sufficient discharge to my executors.”

Your bequest (gift) can take a number of different forms:

• A specified sum of money
• A particular item or items
• A percentage of the value of your estate
• The residue of your estate after provision for family and other beneficiaries. (The residue of your estate is what is left following payment of all debts and expenses and after payment of specific gifts to family and friends.)
