Bequests

Bequests are an important part of your personal legacy, representing your life and values. They are relatively easy to establish and maintain, and provide an ideal opportunity to create a lasting gift to Wellspring Niagara. Your bequest can be for a specific amount or a percentage of your estate.

• You can make a commitment to support Wellspring Niagara now but retain your funds during your lifetime.

• A bequest is a tax-effective means of supporting Wellspring Niagara: Your estate may claim gifts in the year of death equal to 100% of your net income in that year and the preceding year.

• A bequest is revocable and can be changed if your financial situation changes.

• It is a great way to leave a lasting testimony and fulfill your personal wishes for Wellspring Niagara.
