Naming the Ovarian Cancer Project as a beneficiary in your Will is one of the simplest legacy-giving options available to you. One way to contribute is to designate a percentage of your estate or assets after other gifts or debts have been paid. This is known as a “residual gift”.
You can leave a residual gift to the Ovarian Cancer Project by asking your attorney to add simple wording to your will. This will not impact the gifts you leave to your loved ones.
You can also opt to leave a fixed sum of money to charity in your will, known as a “specific gift.” You can leave a specific gift to the Ovarian Cancer Project by asking your attorney to add simple wording to your will. This will not impact the gifts you leave to your loved ones.
