    How a bequest works

    A bequest is one of the easiest gifts to make. With the help of an attorney, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift to be made to family, friends or The Salvation Army Northern Division as part of your estate plan, or you can make a bequest using a beneficiary designation form.

    Here are some of the ways to leave a bequest to The Salvation Army Northern Division

    • Include a bequest to The Salvation Army Northern Division in your will or revocable trust
    • Designate The Salvation Army Northern Division as a full, partial or contingent beneficiary of your retirement account (IRA, 401(k), 403(b) or pension)
    • Name The Salvation Army Northern Division as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy

    A bequest may be made in several ways

    • Percentage bequest - make a gift of a percentage of your estate
    • Specific bequest - make a gift of a specific dollar amount or a specific asset
    • Residual bequest - make a gift from the balance or residue of your estate
