Your Will. Your Legacy.

Having an up-to-date Will is vital to ensure your loved ones are supported, and your wishes become reality. This important document can also be a powerful tool for making a difference and defining your legacy. After supporting the needs of your family and loved ones, your Will can also be used to support causes that are important to you.

Hundreds of York alumni and friends already included York in their legacy plans to help educate tomorrow’s leaders. A legacy gift doesn't just speak about the life you've lived; it says volumes about the future you wish to help shape.
