Leaving a Legacy

Legacy Giving

Giving is a purely altruistic act, and there are many different reasons, and ways, to give. We understand a legacy gift can be a very personal and thoughtful one. For some, it is a way to have their memory live on and inspire others; for many, it’s a way to ensure important and valuable programs and services are available and accessible for seniors in our community, while for others, it represents a way to ease the tax implications that come with the transfer of their estate.

There are so many benefits to remembering the Langley Senior Resources Society in your Will. It is a remarkable act of generosity that says so much about what you value. There are many ways to leave a legacy gift. We encourage you to discuss with your advisors what works best for you, your family, and planning your estate.

Your legacy gift – no matter the size – is an act that is so powerful and surprisingly simple.

Your gift:

• Gives you the comfort of knowing your assets are available today and often allows you to leave a larger gift than might be possible in your lifetime.
• Is a future gift that does not impact your current finances.
• Creates tax benefits for the other beneficiaries of your estate.
• Is an effective way to reduce estate taxes on your final tax return.
• Enables you to achieve your charitable giving goals and support the cause(s) that are important to you.
• Helps you meet your personal and financial goals.
• Allows LSRS to invest in programs and services so that we can continue to provide the exceptional care and support for seniors in our community.
• Supports us to expand our programs and services to meet the needs of our growing and aging community.

We are truly honoured that you are considering a legacy gift for the Langley Senior Resources Society. We welcome an opportunity to discuss your intentions for your future gift and to provide additional information.

Please contact our Executive Director Kate Ludlam for a private and confidential conversation about legacy giving. She can be reached by phone at 604-530-3020 ext 321 or by email at katel@lsrs.ca
