Leave a Lasting Legacy: Include NWCA in Your Estate Plans

Why Leave a Bequest?

By including the National Wood Carvers Association in your estate, you help ensure the art and craft of wood carving continues to flourish for future generations.

How to Make a Bequest

Leaving a bequest is straightforward. You can designate a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or a specific asset (such as real estate or stocks).

Here's sample language you can use in your will:

“I give and bequeath to the National Wood Carvers Association, a nonprofit organization located in Cincinnati, OH, the sum of $______ (or ___% of my estate) for its general purposes.”

We recommend consulting with your attorney or estate planner to ensure your wishes are accurately reflected.

Types of Bequests

• General Bequest: A specific dollar amount or percentage
• Residual Bequest: Whatever is left after other obligations are met
• Specific Bequest: A particular item or asset
• Contingent Bequest: Takes effect only if other beneficiaries cannot inherit
