A bequest is one of the easiest gifts to make. With the help of an advisor, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift be made to family, friends or Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago Foundation as part of your estate plan.
Sample bequest language for a will, codicil, or revocable living trust:
I give (legal description of property, specific dollar amount, desired percentage or rest, residue and remainder of my estate) to Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago Foundation, an Illinois not-for-profit corporation, located at 225 E. Chicago Avenue, Box 4, Chicago, Illinois, to be used in support of its mission OR to support (program or department) at Lurie Children's.
