L
eaving a legacy—the ultimate gift of support that lives beyond our
own time on earth. Legacy gifts give life to and secure the future for
our passions and the causes that inspire us to do and be better.
David Sung, president at Nicola Wealth, says leaving a legacy is
about the desire to make an impact on the world beyond one's own exis-
tence. "It is about leaving something behind beyond our own lifetime and
contributing to something greater than ourselves."
Deciding how and to whom to leave part of one's estate is a complex,
important decision. Because it can impact families and greater communities
for generations to come, several of Vancouver's charitable organizations and
financial management firms say must be made with care, with vision and in
consultation with family.
