To expedite your good intentions, here is a recommended clause for making an outright unrestricted bequest to Guardian Angel Settlement:
Guardian Angel Settlement Association, a Missouri not-for-profit Corporation, is to receive the sum of (indicate specific amount, percentage or “rest and residue” of the estate). This bequest is unrestricted, and the Board of Governors or other governing body may use and expend the same for the benefit of Guardian Angel Settlement Association, in any manner it deems appropriate.
The preceding clause, of course, is only a suggested example. Always consult your attorney for specific legal advice.
Should you wish to make a bequest to Guardian Angel Settlement Association that is restricted to a specific purpose, such as an endowment, program or service area, please contact us for examples of appropriate wording.
