Some donors find
that the best way they can help Ghana West Africa Missions
Generally or the Village of Hope or Rural Water Development
Project specifically is by making a bequest in their will.
Generally there are three different kinds of bequest, but with
each, the entire value of the bequest is eligible for an estate
tax charitable deduction.
SPECIFIC BEQUEST
You designate a particular property (such as shares of stock),
dollar amount, or percentage of your estate to be transferred to
Ghana West Africa Missions, the Village of Hope or Rural Water
Development Project. For example, your will might include
language such as:
“I give to (Ghana West Africa Missions, Village of Hope, Rural
Water Development Project) a charitable institution located in
Searcy, AR, the sum of $______ (or ___% of my estate; or the
property described herein) for its general purposes.”
RESIDUAL BEQUEST
You designate all or a portion of your remaining (residuary)
estate to be transferred to the Ghana West Africa Missions, only
after all other beneficiaries (including debts, taxes, and other
expenses) have been paid. For example:
“All the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate, both real and
personal, I give to the (Ghana West Africa Missions) a
charitable institution located in Searcy, AR, to be used for . .
.”
CONTINGENT BEQUEST
You designate all or a portion of your estate to be transferred
to Ghana West Africa Missions only if a named beneficiary
predeceases you. For example:
“If any of the foregoing bequests shall lapse, then I give to
(Ghana West Africa Missions) a charitable institution located in
Searcy, AR, such bequests as to which ineffective disposition
was made.”
As with other charitable gifts, you can direct how your bequest
is used, targeting your gift to a specific cause or program, or
making an unrestricted bequest.
If you decide to make a bequest, share your plan with your
attorney and financial advisors, who will draft appropriate
language for your will and help structure the gift effectively.

case; only your lawyer and accountant can do that. We suggest
