How can your will make a difference?

Shared Lunch

It’s  Wills Week 2024 and if  you have more than $15,000 and no will, this episode could be what you need to sort your life admin.

We look at the perils of not having will, but also the growing trend of leaving something to a cause you’re passionate about. Our conversation with Public Trust wills expert Catherine Simpson busts myths about wills and charitable giving.  

We cover not just leaving cash, but other assets including a part of your share portfolio. And whether to consider residual giving—a percentage of your estate that you gift after leaving the rest to loved ones.

Shared Lunch is hosted by BusinessDesk journalists including Frances Cook. 

Each week, we’ll alternate between an interview with a company leader and an industry deep dive.
