Why Leave a Legacy?
Many of our area’s charitable or non-profit organizations will struggle to survive in the coming years without an increase in planned or bequest giving. That’s why many people who give generously to their favorite charitable organizations while they are alive are concerned that their contributions will be missed when they’re gone. And rightly so. Information from our probate courts shows that only a small percentage of local wills leave any money to charity. People can continue to make a difference with a little planning.
