Sample wording for your Will

“I have left a gift to World Animal Protection in my will because in that way I am able to leave a more meaningful amount of money to help them with their work, even after I am gone. I trust that it will be put to the best possible use. There is so much that still needs to be done.”

-Susan and her dog Rocky, World Animal Guardian
