A gift in your will is an opportunity to make arthritis research part of your legacy.
There is still so much we don’t know about arthritis. By including Arthritis Research Canada in your estate plans, your generosity can live on through new discoveries, new treatments and more opportunities for future researchers to pursue the questions we haven’t answered yet.
Whether you choose to leave a specific amount, an asset or a percentage of your estate, your gift can ensure arthritis research continues moving forward for years to come.
Including Arthritis Research Canada in your will can be straightforward. You can choose to leave a specific amount, an asset or a percentage of your estate.
If you are preparing a new will, your lawyer can include the gift directly. If you already have a will, ask your legal advisor about the appropriate way to add or update your charitable wishes. We’ve prepared some sample wording you can share with your lawyer.
Your estate will receive a charitable tax receipt for the full value of the gift, which may reduce taxes owed by your estate.
