If I decide to leave a bequest to Silver Memories, what form should it take?
All bequests are appreciated equally. There are several options for bequests:
1. Specific Gift: This specifies an amount of money or property or some other asset.
2. Percentage or Fractional Bequest: This specifies that a percentage or fraction of the total value of your estate be willed to Silver Memories.
3. Residual Bequest: This wills to Silver Memories the remainder of your estate after all expenses have been met and all other beneficiaries have received their inheritances.
4. Whole Estate: This wills the value of your entire estate to Silver Memories.
What wording should I use in my will?
You should consult your solicitor or professional advisor. However, we recommend the following wording:
"I bequeath to the Music Broadcasting Society of Queensland Ltd (Silver Memories), ABN 39 009 992 554 of 384 Old Cleveland Road, Coorparoo, Queensland 4151, for its general purposes (the whole) or (a specific amount or gift) or (a percentage) or (the residue) of my estate free of all duties for which a receipt from the Honorary Secretary or General Manager or other authorised person shall be a full discharge to my executor."
May I nominate how my bequest is to be used?
Yes, you may, but it is preferred that you delegate this responsibility to the Board of Directors, who are all dedicated volunteers and are aware of the station's needs and priorities which can change with the passage of time.
How do I change my will to nominate Silver Memories as a beneficiary?
An amendment, known as a codicil, can be made easily by your solicitor for a small fee.

“Your unique radio programs have decreased the amount of isolation in our facility, reduced depression and enhanced well-being for our residents who participate in this wonderful program. The content of your Silver Memories program provides our residents with music of the era they remember and connect with. Short term memory impacts on a large resident population within our facility, an impairment our residents are challenged with daily. This wonderful program prompts conversation, reminiscence, and the ability to recall memory
of past life experiences. As a diversional therapist with 14 years’ experience I highly recommend this program in all aged care facilities.
