Phil and Sue's Legacy of Impact

Planned-giving
Phil and Sue did not think estate planning was for them – after all, other than some life insurance, a bit of RRSP savings and the family cottage, they had little financial assets. And really, their four kids would certainly not get rich from what would be left to them.

But when Phil and Sue met with an ADVISORS with Purpose estate specialist to ensure that their Will was current they were genuinely surprised to learn that they would leave an estate valued at close to $675,000 – after a potential tax bill of around $74,000. Considering several options Phil and Sue chose to add a fifth child as a beneficiary to their Will – a “Child Called Charity”. They were thrilled because this option allowed them to eliminate the tax bill and leave a little over $150,000 to each child and they could leave a gift of over $135,000 to charity as well. Never in their life had they been able to make that kind of donation.

And when they told their children how, through their Will they would continue to make a significant donation to a charity that was important to them, the legacy they left their children was even more meaningful.
