Bequest Language

Name the Friends in Your Will

The most common planned gift is a gift through a Donor’s will, known as a bequest. Ask your attorney how you, a Donor, can arrange a gift of a specific amount, a percentage, or even all or part of the residual of your estate.

The suggested gift language for a bequest to the Friends is:


    For a bequest of a specific sum:

      "I give, devise and bequeath to the Friends of Birch State Park, Inc., a Florida not-for-profit corporation, the sum of $________________ for its general purposes."

    For a bequest of a percentage of the estate:

      "I give, devise and bequeath to the Friends of Birch State Park, Inc., a Florida not-for-profit corporation, _______ percent of the rest, residue and remainder of my estate for its general purposes."

    For a contingent bequest:

      "If any of the above-named beneficiaries should predecease me, I hereby bequeath his or her share to the Friends of Birch State Park, Inc., a Florida not-for-profit corporation, to be used for its general purposes."

Gifts through bequests are used by the Friends where need is greatest in a given year. Donors are also welcome to specify a bequest to be applied towards a particular program at Hugh Taylor Birch State Park.
