WILLS AND CHARITABLE BEQUESTS

A bequest is one of the simplest ways to leave a charitable legacy to animals that need your help.  Your Will provides the flexibility of specifying exactly how you wish to provide your gift.  Bequests may be in the form of a stated dollar amount, a specific item, property, or a percentage of the residuary of an estate.

LIFE INSURANCE

Life insurance is a simple and inexpensive way to provide significant dollars to support animals in need. The options for life insurance as a gift to the Parkland Humane Society are varied.  You can assign a percentage of your existing life insurance policy or a new policy can be created exclusively as a gift to the Parkland Humane Society.  Ask your financial advisor how this can reduce your estate taxes upon death.

GIFT ANNUITY

Gift annuity represents a lifetime contract between donor and charity.  It is a transfer of cash or other property to the PHS and in return the donor receives a guaranteed lifetime annuity of a fixed amount each year and respective tax benefits. 

These are just a few options you can take advantage of, that enable the PHS to continue to help and protect animals in need.  You may also want to ask your lawyer if a charitable trust is another option you can use to benefit both you and the organization.
