We gratefully acknowledge memorial donations made to Pets Lifeline in memory of a beloved friend or animal companion. We publish the names of donors and recipients in our quarterly newsletter. The most common way to leave a gift is through a charitable gift in a will or a living trust. Many people set aside a certain dollar amount. Others leave a percentage of their estate or any assets left over after their family has been provided for.
Some people choose to donate cash, securities, real or personal property.
Others leave life insurance policies, or funds from a retirement account or other financial asset. Anyone can leave a gift. Most people leave an estate when they die, even though they may not have had a great deal of wealth. Yes, you do. A charitable bequest will not take effect unless you state your intention in your will or living trust.
