Consider Naming the LRC in Your WillYou may have financial commitments at the moment but would like to remember the LRC in your will. A charitable bequest for the LRC may be included in your will when it is written or revised. A bequest to the LRC is a wonderful way to leave a lasting legacy in your honour. It is a profound way to proclaim your support for the vision of the LRC to bringing Justice for All. Making a WillMaking a Will is the only way to ensure that on your death, your property and affairs are dealt with in accordance with your wishes. Without a Will, the law decides what happens to your estate and how it is distributed. Many married people assume that when they die everything they own will automatically pass to their spouse, but this is not always the case. Equally for unmarried couples there is no automatic right of inheritance for the other partner. A residuary bequest is a gift of all or part of the property remaining in your estate after debts, expenses, and specific bequests have been paid. When you use a percentage instead of a specific amount, your gift will stay relatively the same in proportion to your entire estate, regardless of unexpected increases or decreases in its value. A contingent bequest is a gift that takes effect only if the primary beneficiary or beneficiaries of the bequest predecease you. Make the LRC your beneficiaryName the Legal Resources Centre as a beneficiary of your retirement plan, insurance policy, or financial account.
