As we step into August, we recognize National Make a Will Month, a time dedicated to planning for the future and ensuring that our loved ones and cherished causes are cared for. Creating a will is vital in securing your legacy and providing peace of mind for you and your family. This month, we encourage you to consider including the York County SPCA in your estate plans, ensuring that your love for animals will make a difference for years to come.
Why Make a Will?
A will is more than just a legal document; it’s a way to express your values and priorities. By making a will, you can:
- Ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes.
- Provide for your loved ones and dependents.
- Support the causes and organizations that matter most to you.
Why Include the York County SPCA?
The York County SPCA is a pillar of compassion and care in our community, dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and finding permanent homes for pets in need. By naming the York County SPCA in your will, you can:
- Help provide ongoing care and shelter for homeless animals.
- Support vital programs such as spay/neuter services, medical care, and adoption initiatives.
- Leave a lasting legacy of kindness and compassion.
How to Include the York County SPCA in Your Will
Including the York County SPCA in your will is a straightforward process. Here are a few steps to get you started:
- Consult with an Attorney: A legal professional can help draft or update your will to include charitable bequests.
- Specify Your Bequest: Decide on the type of gift you’d like to leave, whether it’s a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or a particular asset.
- Use Our Legal Name and Information: Ensure your bequest is directed correctly using our full legal name, York County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and our tax identification number.
