REMEMBER MERCY SHIPS IN YOUR WILL
To make a bequest you need to have a Will. Making a Will is essential, whatever your age. If you haven’t made a Will, your money and possessions may not be distributed as you wish. You should always seek legal advice to ensure your will is correctly prepared.
By remembering Mercy Ships in your Will, you can help future generations to see, walk or smile for the first time – and even save lives! You can affect whole communities through one of our many development projects. Imagine funding an operation that changes someone’s life forever!
Anything you can give takes us one step closer to a world where nobody is left to suffer simply because they have no access to health care and other basic necessities. This has to be a future worth investing in!
Making a Will
Writing a Will is essential if you want your estate to pass to the people you wish to benefit. If you die without one, the law decides how your estate is distributed, and the causes or people you really care about may receive nothing. If no relatives are found, your entire estate goes to the government. Please contact your lawyer about drafting a Will that reflects your desire to leave a gift to Mercy Ships. Most of us will never have the opportunity to serve on a Mercy Ship, but that does not mean that we cannot leave a legacy of healing.
You can leave any type of gift to Mercy Ships — cash, real estate, investments, personal property or a percentage of your whole estate. Whatever the size of your donation, your gift to Mercy Ships will transform lives and bring hope to the hurting for years to come.
