Bequests
A gift through one’s will is perhaps the most popular form of a planned gift. Such gifts may enable persons to make significant contributions to their favorite causes that may not have been possible during their lifetime.
A bequest in a will can take various forms:

  • A specific bequest may benefit the Foundation for Historic Christ Church with a specific dollar amount or item.


  • A percentage bequest may benefit the Foundation for Historic Christ Church with a percentage of the estate rather than a dollar amount or item.


  • A residual bequest could give the Foundation for Historic Christ Church all or a portion of the estate after all debts, taxes, expenses and all other bequests have been paid.


  • A restricted bequest could benefit a special purpose, such as for endowment for preservation in memory of a loved one.
