Protect Your Loved Ones by Putting Your Wishes in Writing

Making a will is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your family. It ensures your wishes are clear, respected, and carried out – giving you peace of mind that the people you care about will be looked after. Having a will in place can ease emotional and financial stress for your loved ones at an already difficult time.

To make this process easier, Hospice West Auckland has teamed up with Gathered Here, a trusted online wills platform. With their simple step-by-step service, you can create a legally binding will online, completely free of charge.

Leaving a Legacy

Leaving a gift in your will is a meaningful way to continue supporting the causes that mattered most to you in life.

After taking care of your loved ones, leaving a gift in your will to Hospice West Auckland is a special way to make a lasting difference in your community. It helps to ensure that the care, compassion, and dignity that Hospice provides today will continue to be there for future generations to come.

Including a charitable gift in your will won’t impact your wealth during your lifetime but it will have a lasting impact after you’ve gone, offering comfort and support to those in our community who will, one day, walk the difficult journey of life-limiting illness.
