Bequests
A bequest is one of the easiest gifts to make. With the help of an advisor, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift be made to Catskill Animal Sanctuary as part of your estate plan. Bequests, or gifts made by will or revocable trust, are popular ways of giving, and have been incredibly impactful for our ability to rescue and support the animals here at CAS. Bequests can also be a useful tool in helping you meet your financial and estate-planning goals, as the entire amount of your gift is eligible for an estate-tax deduction.
To make the process easier, we are happy to share this suggested language for your advisor’s and your consideration; of course, we recommend that you seek the advice of your financial or legal advisor as well.
Sample Language
