LEGACY - Money or property bequeathed to another in a will.
By making bequests and other ‘planned gifts’, you can continue to help the HomeLink service, which makes such an important difference in your community.

I have children and relatives. Shouldn’t I leave my entire estate to them?
This
is perhaps the number one cause for reluctance when making a will. The
truth is that, depending on the current tax laws, leaving a gift to
charity in your will may reduce the estate tax burden on your heirs
significantly. You should consult with a financial advisor or solicitor
to learn how giving may actually benefit your family after you’re gone.
What type of donation can I leave to HOMELink in my will?
There
are three different types of gifts that are most commonly given to
charities through wills. You may wish to discuss this with your
solicitor to find out which suits you best.
I already have a will – can I change it to include a charity?
If you already have a will, it is easy to make a change to it and include a charity of your choice. This is called a codicil and can be drawn up easily by your solicitor. As above, contact your solicitor for advice on changing your will.
