Remembering St Patrick's College, Silverstream in your will
The making of a Will is a task we all face: it is part of life and a gesture to those we leave behind.Bequests are a lasting legacy that transcend time and benefit future generations. Leaving a Bequest is a simple procedure and allows Old Boys, parents and friends to include St Patrick's College, Silverstream in their Will.
The Foundation is a charitable trust established to protect and safeguard Bequests and other donated funds for the benefit of St Patrick's College, Silverstream, and it is an active partner in the development and growth of the College. We commend the Bequest programme as an uncomplicated way of contributing to the ongoing success of St Patrick's College, Silverstream and to ensuring that its traditions flourish into and beyond the 21st century.
What is a Bequest?
A Bequest is a statement within your Will of how you would like specific assets or funds distributed. Often it is a specified amount of money allocated to a specific cause or organisation, like St Patrick's College, Silverstream. It can also be a percentage of your estate, and is usually made once family members and/or dependents have been provided for.
