For many of us, it’s important to know that we’ve made a difference; leaving the world a better place for our loved ones when we are gone. By including a bequest or other legacy gifts as part of your estate plan, you will help to ensure that future generations continue to benefit from the latest advancements in care.

Without a will, provincial law dictates who receives your estate and in what proportions. If you die without a will, you have no control over who will inherit your property. Under Alberta’s Wills and Succession Act, your estate will be distributed according to a single, specific formula that is applied to everyone.

We recommend that you work with a lawyer when preparing your will, and consult with your accountant or financial planning advisor when making your estate plans. This will help to ensure that your intentions are clear and take into account the most current tax and estate laws. Charitable tax receipts are issued for gifts received through charitable bequests. We would be honoured to meet with you to discuss your charitable intentions and assist you in creating a meaningful legacy.
