“Planning Your Legacy”“I always say that estate planning is for everyone. That's because at the end of the day, no one livesforever, and anyone can experience an accident or illness that renders them incapable.”- Grace Cleveland, lawyer (Estate Planning, Administration and Litigation)It’s something that too many people put off until, sadly, it’s too late. And without it, your hopes ofleaving a thoughtful legacy for your loved ones might never be realized.“It” is a properly crafted will, your final statement on what should happen to the assets and financialresources you’ve accumulated by the end of your life. But even beyond that, your will can continue tomake an impact long after your passing -- especially when you include a legacy gift to a charitableorganization that reflects the causes you care about the most.In much the same way we would prepare for a long outdoor adventure trip, our journey through life canseem a little less uncertain when we make a thoughtful estate plan sooner rather than later. Foryounger people, especially, this may all seem a bit premature. But stop and think about what wouldhappen if tragedy or illness struck, and your life was cut short. Who would take care of your children? Oryour pets? Or any business ventures you’re involved in?This episode of Power to Heal will help demystify what goes into planning your estate, why preparing awill isn’t just for older people, and how—sometimes--bad things can happen when your good intentionsaren’t captured in a clearly written will and estate plan.Note: The topics discussed in this episode of Power to Heal are intended for educational purposes only.Please consult a lawyer to discuss your individual estate planning needs.Guests:- Grace Cleveland – Lawyer and Vice Chair of Peace Arch Hospital Foundation Board of Directors- Selina Lai – PAHF Philanthropy Officer, Legacy GivingPower to Heal is hosted by Lance Peverley, a former newspaper reporter, editor of the Peace Arch Newsfor 12 years, and a longtime resident of the White Rock/South Surrey area.About the Power to Heal podcast:Presented by Peace Arch Hospital Foundation in White Rock, British Columbia, Power to Heal takes youbehind the scenes of an innovative hospital Foundation and introduces you to the team who find newand sometimes surprising ways to engage with the local community and help fund the best healthcarepossible in the region.Since 1988, the Foundation has raised over $250 million for capital projects, medical equipment, andcommunity health programs.
