How a bequest works
A bequest is one of the easiest gifts to make. With the help of an attorney or an advisor, you can include language in your will or trust that specifies a gift to The Faison Center as well as to your family and friends. Another simple way to make a lasting impact is to update the beneficiary designation form for your retirement account by naming The Faison Center.
Here are some of the ways to leave a bequest to The Faison Center
- Include a bequest to The Faison Center in your will or revocable trust
- Designate The Faison Center as a full, partial or contingent beneficiary of your retirement account (IRA, 401(k), 403(b) or pension)
- Name The Faison Center as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy
A bequest may be made in several ways
- Percentage bequest - make a gift of a percentage of your estate
- Specific bequest - make a gift of a specific dollar amount or a specific asset
- Residual bequest - make a gift from the balance or residue of your estate
