IN MEMORIAM CONTRIBUTION
In lieu of flowers you may request contributions for one of LINCCO’s projects or LINCCO’s Greatest Needs.

LIFE INSURANCE
If you wish to make a huge impact and finance a 10 year paid up life insurance policy, you will receive a tax credit on each premium diminishing the cost of a major future gift. If you have a permanent paid up life insurance policy you no longer need and wish to donate it to LiNCCO, do you know that you can get a substantial tax credit during your lifetime on this hidden asset of value?
GIFT BY WILL
Leaving a gift by will allows you to make the world a better place while balancing the needs of your family. LINCCO partners with Will Power, a national organization that helps you decide and plan a gift by will to make things easier. For more information:

RRSP/RRIF BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION
The number one asset in North America toconsider leaving to charity are these registered monies.Although a tax rollover is available when leaving them to a spouse, on second to die the entire remaining value is added as income to the estate, generating most likely top marginale rate tax on the inclusion. If you live in a province in Canada other than Quebec, you do not need to revise your will and incur legal costs. Simply designate LINCCO as contingent charitable beneficiary on your investment for. If you live in Quebec, you can derive the same tax benefits but must do so via a provision in your will.
