Check Out This Potential Scenario…

When Tom and Martha got married, they made a point to put together a will to protect their assets. They both loved Heart of Missouri CASA and decided to include a bequest of $75,000 to us in their will.

As Tom and Martha’s family grew to include three children, they decided to revise their gift to ensure their children’s future financial security. They met with their attorney and simply revised the bequest language so that their gift to Heart of Missouri CASA was now a percentage of their estate instead of a specific amount. Tom and Martha now rest easy knowing when they pass, their plans will provide for the children and CASA’s that Heart of Missouri supports. Their legacy is to continue the charitable work they love.

Note: It is wise to consult with your legal and tax professionals if you are contemplating a charitable legacy gift.
