A Bequest to Further Good Work
David: The work of the Institute was important to us. We regularly made cash gifts but wanted to do more. We received
the newsletter and noted that we could make a gift from our estate and join the legacy society.
Nancy: We met with our lawyer to revise our wills, and we each included a provision for a bequest to IAS. Our lawyer put language in the will that allows a percentage of our estate to go to our favorite charity. This was easy to arrange and permits us to still use our assets during our lives if we need them.
David: We told IAS about our decision and were excited when we were invited to a special event. We will continue to make gifts during our lives, but it feels good to know that our support will help in the future.
