How to Give Gifts of Securities

Just prior to, or immediately following a transfer of securities, you or your broker should contact Stephanie Le at Arbor Hospice at 248.346.4253. If you need assistance with the transfer, please contact David Dannels, Jr. at 616.774.4287 at The Veldheer, Long, Mackay & Bernecker Group.
