WAYS TO GIVE
WILLS AND LIVING TRUSTS Making a gift as part of your will or living trust is one of the easiest and most popular planned giving options. You can make a gift of any dollar amount, designate a percentage of your estate, or gift specific property to JMU. Contact us and we’ll share the specific language you need to add to your will or living trust. It’s possible to create a legacy for decades to come without impacting your income today.
WILL This written document is a must-have for everyone. It will direct how you want your estate distributed, designate how your family and belongings will be cared for, and ensure everything is passed to your intended beneficiaries. We offer free, robust will-planning tools on our website: https://jmu.plannedgiving.org. By simply inserting specific directives, you can leave a gift to JMU that’s bigger than anything you could give in your lifetime.
LIVING TRUST If you own property, you may wish to set up a living trust. Unlike a will, a trust will not subject your estate to probate. This can be a quicker and less costly process for some individuals. Whichever form you prefer, you can direct that your bequest be used for JMU’s greatest needs or for a specific purpose you designate.
