One sentence in your Will can impact on the future of our Church in Southern Africa

Leaving a legacy to an educational institution is a popular tradition among people of vision, and may be something you would find worth considering.

It's a way of making a considerable financial contribution to a cause you feel strongly about, without worrying about immediate out-of-pocket costs. You retain full use of your money or property during your lifetime; only after you no longer need it, does your money become available to help support your wishes and hopes for the future.

Since a charitable bequest can take many forms, you have considerable flexibility. You can leave a specific asset or sum of money, a percentage of your estate, or what remains of your estate after you have provided for other beneficiaries.

You can designate exactly how you want your bequest to be used … or leave it unrestricted so that we can decide how best to put it to use to meet our ever-changing needs. Leaving a bequest to an institution such as the College of the Transfiguration can also help reduce estate duty payable on your death.

If you wish to make a bequest to the College of the Transfiguration – or have already done so – it’s important to let us know for several reasons. First, we appreciate the opportunity to thank you for your generosity. But we'd also like to help you plan how the bequest will be used, so that you get the most satisfaction out of it.

If you already have a will and would like to add a bequest to the College of the Transfiguration, this may be done by means of a simple codicil (click here to download the necessary form). If you have yet to write your Will, you are advised to consult your attorney, bank manager or accountant who will ensure the Will is correctly worded and legally witnessed.
