Most legacy gifts are gifts in a person’s estate, primarily a bequest in their will. They are created by adding a codicil to an existing will or including a gift when preparing a new will. Often lawyers will add the codicil to a will without any charge especially if you provide specific wording. Work with your professional advisors to determine what type of gift is best for you.

When properly prepared, a will can ensure that your loved ones are cared for, the value of your estate is protected and that your legacy gift is also realized. A gift in your will to Kids Cancer Care is a meaningful way to look after your loved ones, while offering hope to generations of children to come.
