Gift-In-Will Language

Sample Gift-in-Will Language and Tax ID Number

Leaving a gift in your will (sometimes called a bequest) to a ministry or charity that you love is a great expression of your personal values, and it may be simpler than you think. We’ve developed language for the most common types of in-will gifts. These are suggestions and should be written or adapted by your legal counsel to fit your situation.

You can leave a gift in your will to either American Leprosy Missions or Hope Rises International. If you’ve already created a will with a bequest to American Leprosy Missions, there’s no need to update your plan with our new name.
