GBLS' Legacy Society: Planned Gifts and Bequests

A planned gift is a commitment you make now that will be paid in the future. It can range from a simple bequest to a more complicated trust in your estate plan. Many of our Legacy Society members leave a bequest in their will, or designate GBLS as a beneficiary of their qualified retirement plan or insurance policy. Planned giving helps ensure that GBLS will be able to help future generations of people in need of civil legal aid. 


Planned giving is not just for the wealthy; people of all means can create a planned gift. GBLS staff will be happy to work with your attorneys or advisors to create a legacy gift that best suits your personal needs and ensures that vulnerable people will continue to have the legal  that helps them lead safer and more dignified lives.
