One of the best ways to create a lasting legacy is by including charitable bequests in your will. When making this type of contribution, many factors influence your decision such as your assets, family concerns, and other interests. Here are a few approaches you can apply when using your will to donate to U.S. Missions.
Naming a specific amount in your will can ensure the donation will be put to missionary use. By regularly updating your assets, you can be certain the accurate amount will be given.
If you know a missionary needs a particular item or asset, you can designate that property to them in your will. To be certain the object will be put to good use, check with the recipient.
To establish a distinction between charitable and non-charitable beneficiaries, think about designating a percentage of assets in your will to U.S. Missions. Using this method automatically adjusts the particular amount as your estate fluctuates.
Family and loved ones should always come first when choosing recipients of your will. If you are uncomfortable bequeathing a specific amount, property, or percentage, consider a gift from the residual or “what is left” of your will after providing for your loved ones.
