Legacy information
Bequests, like other gifts, can be designated for many purposes or given without restriction. At Animals First Aid (AFA) we are pledged to focus on your wishes and needs.
Your first step, once you decide to leave a gift, is to contact your attorney to help you draw up your will. Your attorney will need to know our legal name is Animals First Aid NFP. We are a non-profit charitable organization (I.D. #99-1042428). Our 501(c)(3) status under the Internal Revenue Code provides a tax saving for you and your estate.
There are three main types of bequests: percentage, residual and specific.
The Percentage Bequest
A percentage bequest is a bequest of a certain percentage of your estate or of another asset. An example of a percentage bequests might be providing that, upon your death, your house be sold and that each of your three children receive one-third of the net proceeds. You designate that a specific percentage, anywhere from 1-100% of your estate, is left to Animals First Aid . The greatest advantage of this structure is that, as your estate increases in value over time, your gift will keep pace and your support for Animals First Aid will grow.
I give, bequeath, and devise (state percentage amount) to Animals First Aid NFP, a qualified 501( c)(3) charitable institution, located in Chicago, Illinois to be used to provide a second chance for animals caught up in the cruel cycle of torture, abuse, and exploitation.
The Residual Bequest
A residual bequest is a bequest of all or a portion of the remainder or residue of your estate after specific and other bequests have been distributed. An example of this type of bequest might be providing that everything that remains after all previous bequests have been satisfied should be given to Animals First Aid . By naming Animals First Aid as the beneficiary of this residue, you simplify the probate process and ensure that the government allocates the remainder of your estate as you see fit.
I give, bequeath, and devise (all, or state percentage or shares) of the rest, residue, and remainder of property, both real and personal, wherever situated, which I may own or be entitled to at my death, to Animals First Aid NFP, a qualified 501(c)(3) charitable institution, located in 4435 South Oakenwald, Chicago,IL - 60653, to be used to provide a second chance for animals caught up in the cruel cycle of torture, abuse, and exploitation.
The Specific Bequest
A specific bequest is a bequest for a specific item or dollar amount. An example of a specific bequest might be providing that your Volleyball autographed by Jason Smith be given to your niece, Cathy, at your death.
I give, bequeath, and devise (state amount or item) to Animals First Aid NFP, a qualified 501(c)(3) charitable institution, located in 4435 South Oakenwald, Chicago,IL - 60653, to be used to provide a second chance for animals caught up in the cruel cycle of torture, abuse, and exploitation.
