What is a bequest?

You can state in your Will that you wish to leave a percentage of your Estate to Australian Men’s Rights Association Inc. - A Specific Sum:
You can state in your Will a specific sum to be donated to Australian Men’s Rights Association Inc. NB: Considering inflation and changes in circumstances, it is necessary to regularly review your will.
