A bequest in your Will or Living Trust is an uncomplicated way to help protect animals. A bequest can be a specific sum, a percentage of an estate, or the remainder of an estate after expenses and gifts. Bequests can include cash, securities, real estate, houses, and personal property such as valuable collections, art or jewelry.

Living Trusts are a popular choice because the terms of a Living Trust, unlike a Will, can be put into effect immediately upon a person’s death, bypassing probate and keeping the terms private. When you include SVAS in your Will or Living Trust, you are entitled to join our recognition society. Participants receive special recognition in our quarterly newsletters.

To ensure that your wishes continue in the future, please remember SVAS in your estate plans by leaving a Humane Legacy. For more information about leaving something to SVAS in your Will or Living Trust, please contact the Business Office at 701.839.6770, or e-mail us at svhspets@srt.com.

As a member of the Humane Legacy Society, you will be making an indelible statement about your love and compassion for all animals, not only today but for a lifetime!
