Bequests in Wills
Please tell us if you have named St. Luke’s Foundation in your will.
We would love the opportunity to share our appreciation.
If you are considering this option, an example of bequest language for
St. Luke’s Foundation is: “I, (name), give, devise and bequeath
to St. Luke’s Foundation (written amount or percentage of the estate
or description of property) for its unrestricted (without conditions attached)
use and purpose.”
Should you wish to restrict your bequest, please consult with St. Luke’s
Foundation when you make your will to be certain your intent can be accomplished.
Life Insurance
You may name St. Luke’s as the beneficiary for income tax deductions.
Retirement Plan
By naming St. Luke’s as the beneficiary of the remainder of the assets
after your lifetime, you can avoid leaving heavily taxed gifts to heirs.
