  • General Fundraiser (all fundraisers)

In this session contested estates litigator Cheree Sawley of Hicksons Lawyers and experienced fundraiser Sally Biles of Guide Dogs NSW/ACT share their insights on how charities and Not-For-Profit organisations can navigate common issues when handling estates.

They will cover:

  • Right to information as a beneficiary
  • Being collegiate with other beneficiaries
  • Claims for commission

This session will aim to empower fundraisers on the questions to ask and the things to think about when an estate gets tricky.
