While many donors choose to transfer stocks and bonds through a Bequest, these gifts do not need to be made through a Will. 
In fact, they may be made at any time.
If made during your lifetime, a gift of appreciated securities will allow you to receive an income tax deduction for the fair market value of the securities and avoid tax on the capital gain – helping homeless animals and you.
