Bequest in your Will or Trust
Here are common types of bequests to consider:
- Residential bequest – A percent of the remainder of your estate after other specific legacies have been fulfilled.
- Specific bequest – A specific dollar amount, stated percentage of your estate, or a specified gift in-kind such as collections, arts, books, jewelry, etc.
- Contingent bequest – A gift that is originally intended for other beneficiaries but, in the event of their prior passing, is redirected as a charitable donation.

Gifts of Real Estate
These gifts often include donor-appreciated real estate such as a home, vacation property, undeveloped land, or commercial properties.
Often when making gifts of real estate, you can make this gift while continuing to use the property throughout your lifetime, and you may even receive a tax deduction for your gift.
