Bequests often enable donors to give more than would have been possible during their lifetimes. Bequests may be kept private, and they can be changed during the donor’s lifetime. Bequests are relatively easy to establish, often with just a simple addition to a will or revocable trust. And bequests are tax wise. Gifts through bequests qualify for certain estate tax deductions.

 

Naming Gosnold in your will or trust requires simple language “I give to Gosnold (state all, a specific amount or percentage) of the residue of my estate to be used in such manner as its Board of Directors determine”.
