AGA Foundation: Gift options for your will


 

When life changes, so should your will. An old will can’t cover every change that may have occurred since it was first drawn. Ensure that this important document matches your current wishes by reviewing it every few years.

Use your will to give back!

Help support young investigators doing research. A flexible and versatile way to support the mission of the AGA Research Foundation is to leave a gift in your will or living trust, known as a charitable bequest.

  • Gift us a share of what›s left in your estate after other obligations are met.
  • Make a contingent bequest. That is, you give part of your estate to some individual if that person survives you; if not, then it goes to us.
  • Create a charitable remainder trust to pay an income to your spouse or other loved one for life and designate the remaining principal for us.
  • Create a charitable lead trust to pay income to us for a number of years, or for another person’s lifetime, with the trust assets eventually being distributed to your family.
  • Donate a specific amount of cash or securities.

To make sure your will accomplishes all you intend, seek the help of an attorney who specializes in estate planning. If our organization fits into your plans, we can help you choose the method that best satisfies your wishes and our needs.
