Time to think about your legacyDo you have a valid and up-to-date will? Yes, I’m talking to you. Not about donors leaving your organization a bequest. We all need a will that sets out our wishes after we die, including who gets what part of your assets and who will be asked to be executor. It’s really important to do this while you are able and to not put it off until it’s too late and the division of your legacy is left to strangers or squabbling relatives. Think, too, of your own legacy and which social impact organizations have meaning to you. You may not be able to give large donations while you’re living, but you, too, can make a huge impact through your estate. The Winnipeg Foundation, along with the Manitoba Bar Association and the Public Guardian and Trustee of Manitoba, is presenting the annual Will Week May 2 to 6, 2016. Take advantage of a host of seminars to learn how to create a will, update your existing will and how to arrange for charitable giving in your will. The Winnipeg Foundation is also holding Bequest 101 sessions in May and early June. So, if you have a will that represents your wishes and creates your legacy – wonderful! If not, now’s the time to act. Julie Mikuska.
