A bequest is one of the easiest gifts to make. To ensure that your exact intentions are followed, wills, trusts and codicils should be prepared by your personal legal advisor. With the help of an advisor, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift be made to family, friends, or MidAmerica Nazarene University as part of your estate plan. You will leave a lasting legacy, lessen the burden of taxes on your family, and may receive estate tax savings.
