Planning a Gift to the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur

Planned Giving

Sample Bequest Language
Please note that gifts of this nature should be carefully considered in relation to your comprehensive financial and estate plans. We strongly recommend that you consult an attorney in the preparation of your will and to supervise its execution so as to comply with your state requirements. The following are meant to be examples for illustration only. When including a bequest provision in your will, always use the full legal name of the charity to whom you are leaving a bequest.

Our full, legal name is: "the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, Ohio Province, of Cincinnati, Ohio."
A specific dollar amount can be stated. The type of wording is as follows: I give, devise and bequeath to the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, Ohio Province, of Cincinnati, Ohio, $ .
An alternative is to leave us a percentage of your estate: I give, devise and bequeath to the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, Ohio Province, of Cincinnati, Ohio, % of my estate.
Another option is to provide for your family first and still leave something for us by leaving us the residue of your estate. The residue is simply whatever is left of your assets after your other beneficiaries have received their bequests. The language reads: All of the residue of my estate, including real and personal property, I give, devise and bequeath to the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, Ohio Province, of Cincinnati, Ohio.
If your will is already in place, a codicil (a written change or amendment to a will) may be added by consulting your attorney. Click here for a printable copy of what a codicil would look like. But, please remember to consult your attorney to make sure you are properly advised.

A printable donor card is available for your convenience.
