Bequest by Will

Did you know that, by including a bequest in your legal will, you may be able to give a gift of greater value than any gift you might afford today?

A bequest —the most common planned gift —allows you to use all of your assets during your lifetime and leave a portion of them to charity at your death. You can give a specific asset or amount, or a percentage of your estate. You may also designate how you want the gift used — for scholarships, capital items or program support. Knowledge of bequests assists Trinity Western University in its long range planning and helps strengthen its programs.

Types of bequests:

Specific bequest - TWU receives a specific amount, a specific piece of property, or a specified percentage of your estate.

Residual bequest - TWU receives all, or a specified percentage of the remainder of your estate after other provisions such as debts, taxes, expenses and other bequests are fulfilled.

Please call us for more information on how you can help students through a bequest. We would be pleased to visit with you personally and provide a confidential proposal for your review.
