How do I make a bequest?

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 the Martha’s Vineyard Boys & Girls Club as part of your estate plan.

What are my options?
A bequest can be made in several ways:

  1. You can gift a specific dollar amount or asset
  2. You can gift a percentage of your estate
  4. You can make a beneficiary designation of certain asset

Always discuss potential donations with your tax advisor.
