Asked Questions
Must I have an estate in order to leave a gift?

is simply a word used to describe any money, property, insurance or
personal belongings that you may have at the time of your death. Most
people leave an estate when they die, even if they might not have
a great deal of wealth.

It's up to you. If you include us in your planning we can tell you
about specific opportunities for giving and ensure your objectives
for the gift will be met. We like to know in advance so we can recognize
your generosity but the choice is yours.
