Is leaving a gift in my will right for me?
  • A bequest gift is a way to do even more for people with disabilities in a cost-effective and meaningful way.

  • You can retain the use of your assets and keep your cash flow today, while making a more substantial gift than you may have been able to otherwise.

  • Setting up a legacy gift in your Will is very simple, and you can make changes at any time.
