> ESTATE BROCHURE [ 801 Kb ]

As an Ojai Valley resident, you hold the future of the Ojai Valley in your hand when you make out your will or trust.

By naming the Ojai Valley Land Conservancy as a beneficiary, you will help ensure that the valley will remain open and beautiful for your children, grandchildren, and their grandchildren.

Your gift of financial assets or land will strengthen our efforts to preserve and restore our last remaining open spaces.

Remember, lands held by the non-profit Ojai Valley Land Conservancy are legally preserved in perpetuity.

Along with reflecting your own set of values, a well-drawn will or trust is designed to minimize estate taxes.  Bequests to charities can offer attractive tax-saving opportunities.  They can also make it easier to pass land on to your children.

Please join the more than twenty families and individuals who have included the Conservancy in their will or trust. Consider the lasting impact of an estate gift for the preservation of the natural heritage of the Ojai Valley. Your contribution will be used for:

• Preserving critical open spaces such as the Ventura River Ojai Meadows Preserve

• Restoring important natural habitats

• Educating our youth and community to be better stewards of our open spaces
  
  
• Help sustain our efforts to protect open space
