Gift in Your Will or Living Trust

Deepen Your Connections

You want to leave money to Leader Dogs for the Blind in your will. You also want the flexibility to change your will in the event that life circumstances change. You can do both.

In as little as one sentence, you can complete your gift. This type of donation to Leader Dog in your will or living trust helps ensure that we continue our mission for years to come.

Getting Started Is Easier Than You Think

To make it quick and easy for you to begin writing your will, Leader Dog has an online will-writing tool that is entirely free.

GET STARTED!

This tool is free to you whether you choose to include a gift to Leader Dog or not, and can be used to create a will or guide you through planning your will before finding a lawyer near you.

We recommend consulting with an estate planning attorney to answer your questions, address complex situations and to make sure your wishes are properly formalized.

An Example of How It Works

Young family with kidsMeet Antonio and Maria. When they got married and created a will, they included a $75,000 gift to Leader Dog. As the family grew to include three children, Antonio and Maria decided to revise their gift to ensure their children's future financial security.

They met with their attorney and revised the gift language so that Leader Dog received a percentage of their estate, instead of a specific amount. Antonio and Maria now rest easy knowing their plans will provide for the people and charitable work they love.
