Bequests in Wills and
Living Trusts
Sample Language for
your will
A bequest in your will or living trust is an
uncomplicated way to help protect animals.
A bequest may take several forms. It can be
specific sum, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder of your estate
after expenses and gifts to loved ones. Bequests can include cash,
securities, real estate, houses, and personal property such as valuable
collections, art, or jewelry.
Living trusts are a popular choice because the terms of a living trust,
unlike a will, can be put into effect immediately upon your death, bypassing
probate and keeping the terms private.
When you include Lewis Clark Animal Shelter in your will or living trust,
you are entitled to join our recognition society, Humane Legacy, even if you
wish your gift to remain anonymous. Participants receive special recognition
in our annual report and announcements of special events.
