Bequest in a will or trust
What is it?
A bequest is a gift of property or assets in a will or trust to a beneficiary. This is the easiest and most common way for many of our supporters to make a planned gift.
How does it work?
You can make a bequest to Dear Neighbor Ministries by naming us in your will or trust. Because specific language is required for this type of gift to be effective, and to ensure the appropriate estate tax treatment, please see your lawyer to make sure your wishes are carried out. An example of such a bequest is:
I give and bequeath the sum of _________ dollars ($_________) to the Sisters of St. Joseph Dear Neighbor Ministries, to be held or expended as determined by the governing board of such charity, without restriction.
What is my benefit?
By donating property in your will or trust, you not only experience the joy of giving but also the potential benefit of your estate claiming an estate tax deduction upon your death.
