A Flexible Way to Leave Your Legacy

Talking about estate planning isn’t always easy, but I hope my experience can help others who may be considering a planned gift to Adelphi.

I knew I wanted Adelphi to be part of my plans, but like many people, I also wanted to be sure I wouldn’t outlive my means. I was comfortable making my financial plans, but I needed the flexibility to know I’d be okay no matter what the future brings. That’s why I chose to make my gift as a percentage of my estate—so Adelphi can count on future support while I have peace of mind that my own needs are met.

With guidance from the Office of University Advancement, I was able to make my wishes clear and feel confident in the legacy I’ll leave at Adelphi while still enjoying my life today.

If you’re considering a planned gift, I encourage you to explore this approach too.
