Why Leave a Bequest?

A bequest is a meaningful way to support something you value, while ensuring your loved ones are provided for first.

No matter the size, your gift will help Queensland Ballet:

  • Inspire audiences through world-class performances
  • Develop the next generation of artists
  • Deliver education and community programs
  • Extend the reach of ballet across Queensland
  • Secure the future of Queensland Ballet for generations to come

How to Make a Bequest

When preparing or updating your Will, you may choose to leave:

  • A specific sum of money
  • A percentage of your estate
  • The residue of your estate after other gifts have been distributed
  • Property, shares or other assets

We recommend seeking independent legal advice to ensure your wishes are accurately reflected.

Making a Bequest is Easy

To help simplify the process, our valued partners McCullough Robertson have prepared suggested wording that can be provided to your solicitor when drafting or updating your Will.

Queensland Ballet encourages all supporters to seek independent legal advice when preparing or updating a Will.
