Recently, a client wanted to leave all their money to two charities through their Will. They wanted to leave a legacy to a few charities, and they didn't have any close family members.
Here is her situation: Age 80, $550,000 in savings (75% non-registered and TFSA), with income of $70,000 annually from pensions and RRIFs. She was also spending an additional $20,000 a year from savings to support her lifestyle.
