Give a Legacy Gift
Planned gifts can be made by means of a bequest, trust agreement, or life insurance. Your attorney, financial planner, or tax consultant can assist you in determining the best way to make a planned gift while still allowing you to reach your financial goals.

If you consult with an attorney, you will need to bring complete personal and financial information for them to properly draft documents. The Center of Concern has a convenient form that you can fill out and bring with you.
