In providing bequests or establishing trusts, you are always encouraged to consult an attorney or other financial advisor.

Examples of the types of bequests that can be made:

  • General bequests are for a certain dollar amount of cash or property. ("I give to St. Michael’s Parish the sum of . . .")
  • Specific bequests give St. Michael’s Parish a specific piece of property. ("I give St. Michael’s Parish 200 shares of ABC stock. . . .")

  • Contingent bequests only become active under certain situations. ("In the event my spouse does not survive me, I give St. Michael’s Parish the sum of . . .")
