Dear John,

You can never be too prepared. According to a recent study < [link removed] > , 51% of Canadians do not have a final Will and Testament in place, and only 35% of Canadians claim to have a Will that is up to date.

That means more than half of Canadians are leaving their assets, estates, and their legacy to chance.

So, what are the benefits of creating or having an updated Will?

-

Clarity and Peace of Mind: Ensure that all of your assets and estates will be managed as you envision.

-

Control: Everything is your decision – including who inherits and receives what.

-

Minimizing Conflict: Avoid arguments or disputes amongst chosen family and loved ones.

-

Protection: Protect your chosen family and loved ones; common law spouses do not have the same protections as legally married couples.

-

Lasting Impact: Having a plan to support the causes you care about can bring a sense of peace and accomplishment to your life.

Legacy Gifts can secure our future and Egale’s continued work to fight for the rights, freedoms, and protections of 2SLGBTQI communities.

And know that you’re helping us build a Canada, and ultimately a world, without homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, and all other forms of oppression so that every person can achieve their full potential – free from hatred and bias.

We hope that you’ll make 2SLGBTQI belonging and inclusion a part of your legacy.Please check out the free tool, Willfora < [link removed] > , or contact us < mailto:[email protected] > to learn more about making a bequest.

Warm Regards,
