Making a Bequest to The National World War II Museum
SPECIFIC
BEQUESTS can make a gift of a specific
dollar amount or a particular asset, such as securities,
real estate or personal property, to go to the Museum.
For example:
"I give and bequeath the sum of ___ Dollars
($_____ ) to The National World War II Museum,
Inc., located at 945 Magazine Street, New Orleans,
Louisiana, for the general support of The National
World War II Museum."
CONTINGENT BEQUESTS will result
in a gift to the Museum only in the event of the
death of other beneficiaries or when certain conditions
described in your will are met.
Here is an example to make a contingent bequest:"If
my wife, Jane Smith Doe, does not survive me, I
give and bequeath the sum of _____ Dollars ($_____
) to The National World War II Museum,
Inc., located at 945 Magazine Street, New Orleans,
Louisiana, for the general support of The National
World War II Museum."
RESIDUARY BEQUESTS are used to
give all or a portion of your estate that is left
over after it pays expenses and distributes specific
amounts or property designated to your heirs in
the will. Here’s another example: "I
give and bequeath ____ percent (%) of my residuary
estate to The National World War II Museum,
Inc., located at 945 Magazine Street in New Orleans,
Louisiana, for the general support of The National
World War II Museum."
The examples listed above are all unrestricted bequests.
These types are extremely useful to the Museum because
they can be allocated wherever the need is greatest.
You may also designate your bequest to support a
special program or purpose, such as the Museum’s
endowment. Please contact the Museum to discuss
what you would like to support and we can assist
your attorney in phrasing the language in your will.
The language given here is only suggested, not required,
language for making bequests to The National World
War II Museum. It is not meant to be legal advice
and should be used only with the assistance of your
attorney.
