Planning Your Legacy: How Gifts in Your Will Can Change Lives
On May 29th, The County Foundation is hosting an event at the Picton Yacht Club from 2:00-3:30pm for those looking to learn more about how to give through your Will and what the benefit is for the charities and causes that you care about. Join estate lawyer M. Cath Collins and Dominique Jones, Executive Director of The County Foundation, for a session on planned giving.
What is a Bequest? Bequests are gifts that are made as part of a Will. Most of us (at some point) will go through the process of creating or updating a Will. A bequest is a direction that you put in your Will that says you would like to give donations and you get to decide what that looks like.
The County Foundation can work with you to develop a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to record your intentions and expectations. Nothing in the MOU legally binds you to make a gift. In the MOU, you can dictate if you want to contribute toward an existing fund or establish a new fund. You can tell us what charities or causes you want to support. We can help you develop your giving plan to ensure we respect your wishes and provide guidance every step of the way.
