Consider including Charlford House in your Will.
Here are two simple ways to include a charitable gift in your Will:
You can name the residue of your Estate in whole or as a proportion using percentages. The residue is what remains after taxes, administrative expenses and your heirs have received their specific gifts or proportion. An advantage is that as your circumstances change, your Will does not have to be altered, as the proportion remains the same.
Sample wording: “I bequeath the residue of my Estate (or _______% of the residue of my Estate) to Charlford House Society for Women.”
Or, simply name a specific amount you wish to give:
Sample wording: “I give $_____________ to support the work of Charlford House Society for Women.”
Specific designations:
If you wish to designate to a specific Charlford House program, we recommend the following wording in order to ensure your legacy is realized, should that program no longer be in existence at the time the bequest is realized:
“If through the passage of time, a designated Charlford House program is no longer in place, I give permission to alter the terms of my Will to adhere as closely as possible to my original wishes; or in the event that this is not possible, please direct my gift to the area of greatest need.”
Charlford House recommends that you consult a legal advisor when planning your Will.
