Bequest to Further the Garden's Good Works
David: The work of our favorite place in the world, the Dallas Arboretum, is important to us. We regularly made cash gifts but wanted to do more. We received the charity's newsletter and noted that we could make a gift from our estate.
Nancy: We met with our lawyer to revise our wills, and we each included a provision for a bequest to the Dallas Arboretum Foundation. Our lawyer put language in our will that allows a percentage of our estate to go to supporting the Dallas Arboretum. This was easy to arrange and permits us to still use our assets during our lives if we need them.
David: We told their gift planner about our decision and were excited when we were invited to a special event honoring us. We will continue to make annual gifts during our lives, but it feels good to know that our support will help in the future.
