Legacies
Leaving a gift in your will
The care we give can reach beyond our own lifetime. A gift in a will is one way to support a future that matters to us.
A free book by Stuart Corlett
Legacy
What would you like to carry forward? A kindness. A chance to learn. Care for someone who needs it. A place where people can belong.
Legacy offers warm stories, plain language and room to think about the people and causes that have shaped your life. It explores how to care for those closest to you, choose a charity thoughtfully and prepare for a conversation about your will.
Both editions are free. No payment, email sign-up or pledge is required. Choose PDF for the page layout and writing spaces, or EPUB for adjustable text in an ebook reader.

Space to reflect
The author’s foreword is followed by ten easy-reading chapters. Each chapter ends with reflection questions and a small practical step. The PDF includes space to write.
Read privately, with someone you trust, or in a church, club or small home group. You can pass on any question. You do not need to share financial details or promise a gift. For EPUB readers, a notebook provides space for your reflections.
Care that can continue
A legacy can help people build on their own knowledge, skills and hopes. Good support listens to the people doing the work and asks what will help it last.
For Circuit, this connects with locally led work in Shan State, Myanmar: practical opportunities, stronger livelihoods and more choice for communities.
Explore Circuit’s workConsidering a gift in your will?
Begin with what matters to you and the people who depend on you. Take time to ask questions about a charity’s work and how it handles gifts.
A qualified adviser can help you make a will that fits your circumstances. The book’s reflection pages help you prepare; writing in them does not create or change a will.
The practical guidance is written for New Zealand readers. Seek local advice if you live elsewhere.
