Bequest
How a bequest works
A bequest is one of the easiest and most flexible forms of planned giving. With the help of an attorney, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift to be made to family, friends, or a charitable organization as part of your estate plan, or you can make a charitable bequest using a beneficiary designation form.
