BEQUESTS
The charitable bequest affords a way for virtually anyone to express specific philanthropic wishes. In fact, the bequest is the most frequently utilized method for support of charity in America.
A bequest may take on a number of forms, including:
A specific dollar amount
A percentage of the estate
A specific asset
The philanthropic spirit is given a voice when wishes are expressed in the Will. While many may think philanthropy is reserved for a select few, the truth is that every bequest to this organization makes a mark that will last throughout history.
