Perhaps Abrigo has earned your trust and confidence over the years and now you’ve reached the point where you would like to leave a life legacy. Making a legacy (or planned) gift will extend your support of Abrigo past your lifetime.
A legacy gift or planned gift is simply a bequest, a gift of securities or the gift of a life insurance policy made to Abrigo after your passing. Making a legacy gift can reduce your taxes now or later, is easy to do, does not need to impact you during your lifetime and most importantly, makes a huge difference to the community. If you decide to make a legacy gift to Abrigo, please make sure your will is up to date. Consult with your lawyer or estate planner to ensure that your wishes will be followed. Here are a few samples of planned giving wording:
