After providing for family & friends, many people choose to leave a percentage of their estate as a lasting gift.
This could be a modest gift or a larger legacy, depending on what feels right to you when writing your will.
Gifts can include items such as vehicles, jewellery, stocks and shares, rare antiques and more.
Legacy gifts help provide long-term housing and support for disabled veterans for years to come.
You can make a transformative gift that costs you nothing today and doesn't affect
your current lifestyle or bank balance.
Charitable gifts are inheritance tax-free and can reduce the tax rate across your entire estate, leaving more for the cause you love.
