Have you taken care of your Will?
Most of us don't think about it very often, but having a good Will is the simplest way to make sure the people to matter to us are taken care when we're gone. And it doesn't have to be difficult or costly.
The Salvos offer a community service in which generous and independent local solicitors prepare simple Wills in exchange for a $100 ($150 per couple) contribution to their work. It's a great way to ensure you have a Will that reflects your wishes, while also supporting Australians in need.
Held at The Salvation Army, Ingle Farm on Friday the 25th of August, appointments are available between 10:30am and 3:30pm and bookings are essential.
Call 1800 337 082, or book online at salvationarmy.org.au/willsday.
