Bequests

A charitable bequest is a bequest written in a will or trust that directs a gift to be made to a qualified exempt charity when you pass away. One benefit of a charitable bequest is that it enables you to further the good work of an organization you volunteer with or support long after you are gone.

Better yet, a charitable bequest can help you save estate taxes by providing your estate with a charitable deduction for the value of the gift. With careful planning, a bequest may lessen the burden of taxes on your family and on your estate.

A bequest, which is one of the easiest gifts to make, can be made in the following ways:  
  
•  Gift of a percentage of your estate  
•  Gift of a specific asset  
•  Gift of the residue of your estate  
•  Gift of a specific dollar amount.
