Ever wonder how to recognize a special day or what

Many people choose to make future gifts from their
estates. A charitable Will Bequest is a direction you make in your
Will that instructs your executor to leave one or more of your assets
to a charitable organization. The Bequest can be cash, securities
(stocks or bonds), real estate, or other tangible personal property.
Your estate, in turn, will receive a tax receipt, which is applied
to the final income tax return. Ottawa Salus Corporation recommends
that you consult your lawyer or real estate planner regarding the
specific wording of any charitable Will Bequests.
