Willpower: How a 1% Gift in Your Will Can Transform Your Legacy

Bruce talks with Laurie Fox, campaign director of Willpower, about how Canadians can use their wills to leave a powerful charitable legacy without shortchanging their families. They discuss why only about 10% of Canadians currently include a charity in their will, how even 1% of an average estate can become a five-figure gift, and the significant tax benefits of gifting through your will – including donating securities and reducing or even eliminating estate taxes. Laurie also shares tips on choosing charities, doing due diligence, and keeping your legacy gift flexible so it can have the greatest impact over time.
