Bequests

A bequest is simply a provision in your will to leave a gift to Best Friends of Shelter Pets. A charitable bequest is fully deductible from your estate and may significantly reduce taxes on the balance of your estate. You may also leave a gift to Best Friends of Shelter Pets in your living trust.

When your attorney draws up your will or family trust, we suggest using the following sample language:

“I give to Best Friends of Shelter Pets, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization in Oklahoma City, OK the sum of $__ for its general purposes.”

Rather than leaving a sum certain, you can include language that refers to a percentage of your estate or a description of the property you wish to give.
