Planned Giving
A bequest in your Will to ShareLife is an acknowledgment of your returning to God a portion of the gifts He has bestowed on you during your lifetime.
Charitable bequests can have a favourable impact on your overall estate plan and positively affect gifts you make to your loved ones.
Bequests are not just for the wealthy. Bequests are the one charitable gift that allows you to use charity tax credits against 100% of your income. Not only can you claim 100% but you can also claim the taxes from the previous year as well. You can support your parish with little effect on your loved ones’ inheritance.
A proper estate lawyer is the key to making an effective estate plan that fulfills your wishes, takes care of those you love and ensures your affairs are concluded in a fair and agreeable manner.
We have a free estate planning kit to help you make your plan. The Archdiocese of Toronto also maintains a list of advisors in our parish area who are available to assist in your estate planning and the preparation of a Will.
Please contact us for bequest wording, our free kit or a list of Catholic estate advisors in your area. All calls are strictly confidential and there is no fee or charge for this service.
