A bequest is simple and convenient. You have a number of options.

You can make a bequest for a specific dollar amount or for a percentage of your estate. You can designate your bequest for general use, or you can restrict its use. Because a will is an important legal document, you should seek an attorney’s help. To assist you with this important process, we offer some suggested bequest wording below.

Each individual situation is unique and, therefore, these examples include only some of the possible gift opportunities. We encourage you to share your final will provision with WCS to ensure that your wishes will be properly followed and recognized.
