Sample Bequest Language
One of the simplest ways to make a planned gift to the 澳门六合彩开奖现场直播 is through a bequest in your will or a provision in your living trust. You may indicate that the 澳门六合彩开奖现场直播 is to be the recipient of a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or a particular piece of property.
Outright Bequest
To make an outright bequest to the 澳门六合彩开奖现场直播, you designate in your will a specific asset or amount of money you wish to bequeath. You may wish to use the following language when making your outright bequest:
"I give and bequeath [describe property] to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston for its general corporate purposes [or other purposes]."
Residual Bequest
To make a residual bequest to the 澳门六合彩开奖现场直播, you designate in your will a percentage of the remaining value of your estate to come to the 澳门六合彩开奖现场直播 after all outright bequests have been made. You may wish to use the following language when making your residual bequest:
"I give and bequeath ____ percent of the residue of my estate to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston for its general corporate purposes [or other purposes]."
Contingent Bequest
To make a contingent bequest to the 澳门六合彩开奖现场直播, you designate in your will conditions under which a portion of your estate will come to the 澳门六合彩开奖现场直播. You may wish to use the following language when making your contingent bequest:
"If any or all of my heirs named herein under have predeceased me, I give and bequeath the portion of my estate reserved for that person or persons to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston for its general corporate purposes [or other purposes]."
Restricted Bequest
While the majority of bequests the 澳门六合彩开奖现场直播 receive are unrestricted and are used wherever the need is greatest, you may wish to designate your bequest for a particular purpose. If you wish your bequest to establish an endowment fund, you may wish to use the following language in your will:
"I give and bequeath the sum of ____ dollars to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston to establish an endowment fund, to be known as the __________, to provide unrestricted support for the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. In years when fund expenditures are less than fund income, the balance is to be accumulated.鈥
If you wish your bequest to establish an endowment fund to benefit a particular program or department at the 澳门六合彩开奖现场直播, you may wish to use the following language in your will:
"I give and bequeath the sum of ____ dollars to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston to establish an endowment fund, to be known as the __________, to provide support for the following purposes: __________. In years when fund expenditures are less than fund income, the balance is to be accumulated. If in the future, in the opinion of the Trustees of the Museum of Fine Arts, the income cannot usefully be applied for the above purpose(s), it may be used for other purposes that will permit appropriate recognition of the intent of this gift.鈥
