CREATE YOUR PLANNED GIFT

Bequests

The simplest way to leave a legacy is through your will or living trust. You can modify this sample language; please consult your attorney for advice tailored to your situation:

“I give, devise, and bequeath to the University of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Foundation, a ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ nonprofit corporation, (insert dollar amount, percentage of estate, or description of property) for the benefit of the law school at the University of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥.â€

Retirement Assets

You can make a gift of unused retirement assets. Simply contact the administrator of your IRA, 401(k), or other qualified plan and designate the University of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Foundation, for the benefit of the law school, as a beneficiary.

Real Estate

You can donate land, residential, or commercial property, and avoid the hassle and expense of ongoing upkeep. You can also sell real property to the University of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Foundation below the appraised value, take a tax deduction for the discounted amount, and keep the cash.

JOIN OUR HERITAGE SOCIETY

Planned giving donors are recognized through the ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Law Heritage Society. Members receive invitations to special events at the law school, as well as recognition in our Amicus magazine. You will also receive membership in ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥â€™s Heritage Society and invitations to university events. You can, of course, choose to keep your planned gift anonymous.
