Planned Giving

Make your giving last.

Your Will is the centerpiece of your estate plan. A simple Will is easy and inexpensive. You need the expertise of a qualified attorney to draft the language of your Will and you need a periodic review of the document with him or her to make changes you may want, or changes you may need as a result of changes in tax laws and your personal circumstances.

You can make a bequest in your Will to Elder Care Services, Inc. in the same way that you provide for family and individuals. There are three basic types of bequests:

• Specific bequests are those for a specific item of property or specific sum
• Percentage bequests are those for a fixed percentage of your estate
• Contingent bequests are those that provide a secondary beneficiary in the event the primary beneficiary dies before you

Any bequests should be worded: "To Elder Care Services, Inc., a not for profit Florida corporation having its offices in Tallahassee, Florida, or its successor organization."

If you have already made an estate gift to Elder Care Services, please let us know. Knowing not only helps us plan for the future, but also gives us an opportunity to thank you and give you proper recognition.

Other forms of giving include:

• Marketable Securities
• Stocks
• Real Estate
• Life Insurance
• Charitable Remainder Trust
• Charitable Gift Annuities
