A bequest to Animal Adoption and Rescue Foundation through your Will or Trust helps ensure that we can continue to carry
out our mission of helping homeless and abused animals receive the care they need.
By remembering Animal Adoption and Rescue Foundation in your estate planning, you can leave a legacy that will benefit
future generations of animals and help provide for our future work. The federal government encourages these gifts or bequests, b
y allowing an unlimited estate tax charitable deduction.
There are various methods for making such a bequest.
-
A specific bequest allows you to leave a specified gift in the form of a cash distribution.
To make such a bequest use the following language:
I give, devise and bequeath to Animal Adoption and Rescue Foundation, P.O. Box 15262,Richmond, Va 23227
the sum of (insert amount) to be used for its general purposes.
-
A residuary bequest allows you to leave a "remainder" of a percentage of your estate to Animal Adoption and Rescue Foundation

all (insert percentage amount) of the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate, to be used for its general purposes."
-
A contingency bequest allows you to make a gift contingent on certain circumstances. To make a contingency bequest use the following language:
"If any of the above-named beneficiaries should predecease me, I hereby bequeath his or her share to
Animal Adoption and Rescue Foundation, P.O. Box 15262,Richmond, Va 23227 to be used for its general purposes."

If you already have a Will, you can use the suggested wording to write a codicil (an addendum) that names Animal Adoption and Rescue Foundation
a beneficiary of your estate.
