If you include the Alberta Cancer Foundation in your will, your lawyer or financial advisor may ask you for the following information:

Legal Name: Alberta Cancer Foundation

Most people opt to make one of two types of gifts: residual or specific. A residual gift allows you to give a share or a percentage of whatever is leftover in your estate to charity. You may prefer this option if you’re unsure of the total size of your estate or you’re interested in dividing up your total assets among a few beneficiaries. With a specific gift, you set a dollar amount to donate. You may prefer this option if you know the impact you want to make and the size of the gift that works for you.  See our Sample Wording & FAQ section for examples of how to word a gift in your will.  

You can add the Alberta Cancer Foundation to your will if you’re making it for the first time, or drafting a codicil to attach to an existing will. A codicil is a legal clause that can be used to make changes to an existing will without recreating the entire document. No matter where you are in your estate planning, we’re here to answer any questions you may have. Please reach out any time.
