Do you give to charity in the hope of curing cancer, preventing blindness, or slowing the development of Alzheimer’s? Perhaps you sponsor a child or give to prevent animal cruelty.
Giving to help charities make a real difference is something most of us do as we live our lives, but our best opportunities to help charities come late in life when we write our Wills.
Over our lifetimes, we save and build our wealth to keep ourselves healthy and comfortable, as well as to help our children and grandchildren. Then, we each write our own Will in which we leave instructions on who is to receive what or how much.
Mostly, we share our wealth with our children. If there is enough to go further, many of us include grandchildren or even the pet dog.
But after you have cared for your family, friends, and the dog, try to continue your lifelong habit of helping charities by leaving a bequest to those you have long supported.
If your bequest is large, you could help create a miracle. Here at Arthritis & Osteoporosis WA, we use bequests to fund long-term research. We use bequests to help research the causes of arthritis and to develop new treatment regimens.
Such giving costs nothing during your lifetime but offers the possibility that your dollars could buy the cure. It’s about using your Will to help turn dreams into reality.
