GIFT IN A WILL

Leave a Legacy that Breathes Life

Gifts in a Will, whether large or small, are incredibly valuable to TB Vets Charitable Foundation. We rely on them to support our work of providing respiratory equipment, research and education that make life-saving care in British Columbia possible.

Your planned gift demonstrates deep compassion for those who will need TB Vets in the years to come. Thank you for remembering TB Vets when thinking about what you’d like your legacy to be.

Is Writing/Changing a Will Difficult? Where Do I Start?

Writing or changing a Will is usually less overwhelming and challenging than most people anticipate. To start, list your assets, personal property, and the people and charities you want to provide for through your estate after you pass away. To make it easier for you, TB Vets has prepared a complimentary Legacy Giving Guide which includes a planner for your personal affairs.

A legacy gift is a decision you need to make in your own time. We encourage you to discuss your charitable gift plans with loved ones. This can be a great opportunity to have a conversation about what has been meaningful to you in your life and to share your values. A family that knows your wishes are more likely to honour them.

We also strongly recommend that you use the services of a legal professional once you’re ready to draft your Will. This ensures your Will is in accordance with your personal circumstance and that everything is thoroughly considered and carefully worded.

What Happens if Someone Passes Away Without a Will?

While most people know that they should have a Will, unfortunately, many people pass away without one. This means their estate will be distributed according to the laws governing the province in which they lived, not necessarily as they intended.

When Should a Will Be Updated?

It’s a good idea to update your Will after major changes in your life, like:

  • marriage, separation or divorce
  • new children or grandchildren
  • a move to another province
  • a change in financial status (sale of a business, a large inheritance, etc.)
  • the death of someone named in your Will
How Can I Include TB Vets in My Will?

If you are ready to arrange a legacy gift to TB Vets in your Will, you will need to give the legal professional drafting your Will our legal name, address, phone number and charitable business number. It is important for this to be accurate. If not, we may not be able to accept the gift.

It is understandable that end of life plans and discussions can be difficult at the best of times. This guide was created with that understanding in mind and will help you put your affairs in order.

Here you will find a place to gather information for next of kin and your executor. This information will come in handy when drafting or editing your Will. You will also find more details on legacy giving, including ways to ensure your wishes are honoured, the possible tax benefits of leaving a legacy gift to TB Vets, and the responsibilities of your executor.
