How to fill out sample bequest wording:

1. Start by reviewing the specific requirements and guidelines provided by your estate planning attorney or the organization you are leaving a bequest to. This will help ensure that your bequest wording meets any legal or administrative requirements.
2. Consider the type of bequest you want to make. Common types include specific bequests (e.g., a certain amount of money or a specific piece of property), residuary bequests (e.g., a percentage of your estate after other specific bequests have been fulfilled), and contingent bequests (e.g., if a primary beneficiary predeceases you, their share goes to an alternate beneficiary). Choose the type that aligns with your intentions.
3. Determine the exact details of your bequest. For specific bequests, include the exact amount or a detailed description of the property you wish to bequeath. For residuary and contingent bequests, specify the percentage or share that each beneficiary will receive.
4. Be clear and specific in your language to avoid any confusion. Use precise terms and avoid ambiguity. Include the full legal names and contact information of your beneficiaries or charitable organizations. If you are leaving a bequest to an organization, include their full legal name and their tax identification number.
5. Seek professional advice if you are unsure about any aspect of your bequest wording. An experienced estate planning attorney or financial advisor can provide guidance and ensure that your wishes are accurately and legally conveyed.
