Some planned gifts let you make a bigger impact than you ever imagined—without affecting your day-to-day budget. These gifts can be as simple as cash or as unique as real estate, life insurance, investments, or even personal treasures. Here are a few meaningful ways you can leave a legacy of life:

Specific Bequest: A gift of a specific asset such as real estate, an automobile, other property or a gift for a specific dollar amount.

Percentage Bequest: Leaving a specific percentage of your overall estate to charity. For example, you may wish to leave 10% of your estate to Care Net.

Residual Bequest: A residual bequest is made from the balance of an estate after the will or trust has given away each of the specific bequests. A common residual bequest involves leaving a percentage of the residue of the estate to charity. For example, you may wish to leave 30% of the residue of your estate to Care Net.

Contingent Bequest: A contingent bequest is made to charity only if the purpose of the primary bequest cannot be met. For example, you could leave property such as a vacation home to a relative but the bequest language could state that if the relative has preceded the donor in death, the vacation home would go to Care Net.
