BEQUEST

A bequest is a gift made as part of your will or trust.

There are two principal types of bequests: Specific and Residuary.

In a specific bequest, your will should specify a dollar amount or a particular asset, such as securities, real estate*, or tangible personal property* (musical instruments, rare books, or valuable works of art).

In a residuary estate bequest, your will should specify that you give CFA all or a percentage of the remainder of your estate after the payment of estate-related expenses and other specifically named legacies.

*Gifts of real estate and tangible personal property can be harder to manage, so we cannot always accept them. Please contact us if you are considering making these gifts.

To make your bequest to CFA, simply share this language with your attorney for inclusion in your will or trust and let us know by completing this form.

 
OTHER PLANNED GIFTS

You may also consider naming Connecticut for Animals Education Fund as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy or retirement account. Simply contact your plan administrator to update (in writing) your beneficiary designation.
 
As always, please discuss financial and tax considerations with your trusted advisors.
