Leave A Legacy


    Wills & Bequests
    Gifts by Will are becoming more popular as an increasing number of people include Regesh
    Family & Child Services as a beneficiary. It's one way to support Regesh when it might not be
    financially possible during your working or retirement years. A bequest is a revocable gift that can
    be amended at any time. Charitable gifts made in a Will are deemed made in the year of death.
    The charitable tax credit is therefore received by the estate and can offset any tax owing from the
    estate.

    If you are about to draft a Will or make changes to your current Will, your lawyer can include a
    bequest to Regesh Family & Child Services. You can leave a specific amount, a particular asset,
    a percentage of the value of your estate or the residue of your estate after all other bequests have
    been made.

    Gifts of Life Insurance
    Giving a gift of life insurance is a wonderful way to show you care. This type of gift often allows a
    person of modest means to make a donation much larger than they might have been able to
    make during his or her lifetime. Instead of contributing annually to Regesh, a donor directs funds
    to insurance premiums. As such you would receive a charitable receipt for each premium
    payment made. A gift of this type generates immediate and future tax relief for a donor and does
    not diminish your estate.

    You can transfer ownership of an existing policy to Regesh Family & Child Services. Donors
    considering the transfer of a life insurance policy should obtain professional advice concerning
    the income tax consequences of such a transfer.

    You can take out a new policy, making Regesh Family & Child Services the owner and/or
    beneficiary. If Regesh is named both the owner and beneficiary, you will receive a charitable
    receipt for paid premiums; if Regesh is named beneficiary only, your estate will receive a
    charitable receipt for the full value of the gift.
