Want to leave a lifesaving legacy for the homeless animals in Yancey County? Then consider Planned Giving which is a way for you to give the gift of your legacy through a structured financial arrangement. If you choose to make the Yancey County Humane Society (YCHS) a beneficiary in your estate planning, you will be helping to ensure a safe and happy future for animals in need, not only for today, but well into the future.
If you have a financial advisor or legal representative, they will be able to offer assistance to you to ensure that your charitable donation is set up in the correct manner. If you don’t already have a financial advisor, we have partnered with Craig Associates in Asheville, NC to help you with this process. They will be happy to talk with you about how you can gift part (or all) of your estate to non-profits, to include the YCHS. They offer a free estate planning workshop every other Saturday or you can schedule another time with them that may be more convenient for you. Just contact Justin Laman at 828-944-4876 or email him at justin@chriscraiglawcom. The link to the seminar information is https://www.chriscraiglaw.com/seminar/.
