Why Legacy Giving?
Giving as part of an estate plan is a stress-free way to significantly impact the lives of children in New Mexico while ensuring you will not run out of money during your lifetime. Have the peace of mind of knowing that if an emergency comes up, you have access to your money.
You can also give in honor of a loved one. We will list them here on this page.
It may be time to update your estate plan:
Do you have a plan, and is it up to date with any life changes like:
- change in marital status
- new children or grandchildren
- purchase or sale of property
- a move between states
If you haven’t reviewed your plan recently, now may be a good time to do so.
