Bequest
By remembering us in your estate plans, you can leave a legacy that extends beyond your years. You have many options for making a planned gift that will leave a lasting legacy, including a bequest in a will or trust, beneficiary designation of a retirement plan, IRA, life insurance policy or account, and other gift vehicles.
You can leave a legacy gift to help others dealing with Prostate cancer through a simple bequest in your will or by naming ZERO as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy, qualified retirement plan or individual retirement account. You also can arrange a tax-wise gift that will provide lifetime income for your loved ones and yourself, or that will pass assets to heirs at reduced tax.
