the door or in the check-out line at the supermarket, you have options
in terms of the big picture – what happens to your estate and how you
want to make a difference in life and in your afterlife.
You can leave a legacy. You can actually have a considerable, positive
impact that continues on for future generations.
Planned giving can result in considerable tax benefits for you, as
well as the charity you are supporting. A professional can help you
make the right choices to maximize the financial impact of your gift.
She or he can figure out the tax implications and how to devise a plan
so that it works in your best interest.
There are a couple of key things you need to do in order to make
a successful planned gift. The first thing is to get a lawyer and make
a will. It’s the legal document that ensures your charitable giving plan
will be honoured. If you don’t have a legal will, it might not happen
and there’s no telling what may happen to your estate. It’s also important
to get help from an expert, such as a financial planner or an
estate planning advisor. That way, you don’t have to worry about any
red tape or hassles. You’ll also be certain you achieve the most benefit,
while ensuring your family is well looked after once you’re gone
and that your planned gift will not infringe on your quality of life here
and now.
The bottom line?
You get to make good things happen for years to come – and you
get to eat in peace.
Advancing care. Every day.
Ensuring excellence today and tomorrow
