Wills and Living Trusts

KTEH Now a Service of Northern California Public Broadcasting (NCPB) Gift Planning Chart - Wills and Living Trusts

Sample bequest language for your attorney:

"I give [_____% of my estate] [the residue of my estate] [_____% of the residue of my estate] [$______________] to Northern California Public Broadcasting, Inc. (NCPB), a California nonprofit public benefit corporation. NCPB's primary office is located at 2601 Mariposa Street, San Francisco, CA 94110."

How to Make This Gift

You can make a gift (bequest) to a charitable organization through your will or living trust in the following ways:

  • A percentage of your total estate - In using this approach, your gift adjusts with changes in the size of your estate.
  • The residue or a percentage of the residue of your estate - After your specific gifts to loved ones have been made, you may designate that the entire residue or a percentage of the remainder shall go to one or more charitable organizations. With this approach, as well, your gift adjusts with changes in the size of your estate.
  • The residue or a percentage of the residue of your estate - After your specific gifts to loved ones have been made, you may designate that the entire residue or a percentage of the remainder shall go to one or more charitable organizations.

  • A gift of a specific amount - You specify a dollar amount to be given to one or more charitable organizations. With this kind of gift, it is especially important to keep your will or trust up-to-date.

"Public Broadcasting provides education, information and entertainment to people from all walks of life; it is crucial to a thriving democracy. That's why I've made an endowment gift in my living trust. I'm delighted that my gift will one day extend my support far beyond the annual gifts I make to Public Broadcasting today."
