Bequests are an excellent way to support the mission of the Chattooga Conservancy in your will or living trust. Bequests allow you to create a meaningful plan for your gift without affecting your cash flow during your lifetime. The same is true if you name us as a beneficiary of your retirement plan, life insurance policy, bank account, or security. A bequest can be changed or modified at any time, and you can choose to designate that a bequest be used for a general or specific purpose. Again, please discuss any planned gift with your attorney, accountant, and/or other financial advisor(s).
In order to make a bequest, your attorney can help you include a bequest in your will or other estate planning documents. We have provided some basic bequest language to assist you and your attorney.

If you do not have a living will or trust, some Chattooga Conservancy members reported success creating one through FreeWill.com. The website is free to use, but the final document may require notarization and witness, which can be done at most local banks.
The website is capable of creating a simple, but valid will for whatever state you reside in and allows for the listing of non-profits such as The Chattooga Conservancy as a beneficiary of all or part of your estate.
