Dear John,
 

We know that there are a lot of common feelings and misconceptions out there that are stopping people from creating their wills – like “I don’t have enough assets” or “I’m too young to be creating a will!”   

Please don’t let this stop you! 

According to a recent study, 51% of Canadians do not have a final will and testament in place, and only 35% of Canadians claim to have a will that is up to date.  

That means more than half of Canadians are leaving their assets, estates, and their legacy to chance. 

So, what are the benefits of creating or having an updated will? 

• Clarity and Peace of Mind: Ensure that all of your assets and estates are in order, and managed how you wish. 
• Control: Everything is your decision – including who inherits and receives what.  
• Minimizing Conflict: Avoid arguments or disputes amongst chosen family and loved ones.  
• Protection: Protect your chosen family and loved ones. 
• Lasting Impact: Support the causes that matter to you, for the generations to come, long after your time.

Legacy Gifts can secure our future and Egale’s continued work to fight for the rights, freedoms, and protections of 2SLGBTQI communities. Thanks to our partnership with Willfora, creating or updating your will has never been easier, and it is free! 

And know that you’re helping us build a Canada, and ultimately a world, without homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, and all other forms of oppression so that every person can achieve their full potential – free from hatred and bias. 

We hope that you’ll make 2SLGBTQI belonging and inclusion a part of your legacy. Please check out Willfora or contact us to learn more about creating a will and leaving a charitable gift to Egale.   

What will be your legacy?   

Warm Regards,  

Your Friends at Egale Canada
