A few words in your will can make a world of difference. You can leave a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or whatever’s left over after your loved ones are looked after.
Sample Bequest Language
By naming Hospice Niagara as the beneficiary of your policy—or donating a new or existing policy—you can leave a significant gift for a relatively small cost.
Donating stocks, bonds or mutual funds is one of the most tax-smart ways to give. You will receive a charitable tax receipt for the full value of your donation.
You can name Hospice Niagara as a direct beneficiary of your retirement funds, which means your gift doesn’t go through probate and your estate may receive valuable tax benefits.
Leaving even a small portion of your estate (Will) to charity can result in a bigger contribution than you ever thought possible, while still supporting your loved ones. Your legacy lives on in the care and compassion provided for people and families. Consider leaving a gift from your Will.
