A will is the most basic part of every estate plan. It is a legal declaration of your wishes regarding the disposition of your earthly property after death. It is the perfect place to declare your beliefs when you choose to donate a portion of your estate to your favourite charity.
A will:
- is an excellent way to pass on your accumulated wealth;
- is the only official document that guarantees that your assets will be distributed according to your wishes;
- gives you an opportunity to make a donation to a charity, such as the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada.
A bequest entitles you to a tax credit of up to 100% of your net income in the year of your death.
The EFC has a complementary, no obligations Will Planning Work Sheet to help friends of the EFC with their estate planning. To order a copy, please email us at
legacygiving@theefc.ca or call us toll-free at 1-866-302-3362.
You can leave a planned gift to the EFC by creating a will and designating The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada as a beneficiary of the residue of your estate, or as the recipient of a gift.
If you have already named The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada as a beneficiary in your will, we would like to be informed so that we can thank you appropriately.
