One of the simplest ways to leave a charitable legacy to the Wisconsin Humane Society is through a provision in your will. Your will, or estate plan, provides the flexibility of specifying exactly how you wish to provide for animals. If you own anything at all, you should have a will so that the state is not left in charge of the distribution of your assets at your death.
If you would like more information on including WHS or OHS in your estate plans, contact the Development Department at 414-431-6162. |
