Bequests

Remebering Save-the-Redwoods League in Your Will
Charitable giving through your estate plans can offer both flexibility and estate tax advantages. Please let us know if you have planned a gift for the League. We look forward to welcoming you to the Redwood Legacy Circle.

Four of the most popular forms of bequests are listed below.

1. A fixed amount of money or a designated property (sample language)
"I give $_______________________________________(or describe the real or personal property, including exact location.) to Save-the-Redwoods League, a California nonprofit corporation, currently located at 114 Sansome Street, Room 1200, San Francisco, California 94104. Tax identification number 94-0843915."

2. A percentage of the residue of the estate (sample language)
"I give_______________% of the residue of my estate, including real and personal property, to Save-the-Redwoods League, a California nonprofit corporation, currently located at 114 Sansome Street, Room 1200, San Francisco, California 94104. Tax identification number 94-0843915."

3. A residual bequest (sample language)
"I give all the residue of my estate, including real and personal property, to Save-the-Redwoods League, a California nonprofit corporation, currently located at 114 Sansome Street, Room 1200, San Francisco, California 94104. Tax identification number 94-0843915."

4. A double-purpose bequest
You can provide a relative or friend with income for life through a special gift to Save-the-Redwoods League. You can do this by establishing a charitable trust through your will. Upon your death, the trust pays income to the person you designate. After that person's death, whatever remains in the trust passes to Save-the-Redwoods League.

PLEASE NOTE: Save-the-Redwoods League recommends consulting an attorney when preparing legal documents. LEGAL AND TAX ADVICE - Save-the-Redwoods League cannot render tax or legal advice, and this information is not intended as such. We recommend that you work with qualified financial and legal advisors who specialize in estate planning.
