Planning to Give Consider a Bequest to the WSU School of Medicine A time-honored method of supporting the Wayne State University School of Medicine is through a bequest. In its simplest form, your will provides that the WSU School of Medicine is to receive a specified sum of money, a specific piece of property, or a stated percentage of your estate. Each of these bequest methods has certain advantages and disadvantages. Our new publication – Planning Your Bequest – explains the various bequest forms and will be helpful in planning your own bequest to the school. Whatever the form of your bequest, you may want to state exactly how it is to be used. You can even direct that it be made as a lasting memorial to yourself or a loved one – a permanent testimony of your generosity and concern for the future of the medical school. Your bequest may have an equally important practical side: to benefit Wayne State and still provide full financial security for your family. Your estate can deduct – for federal estate tax purposes – the total dollar value of any property passing to WSU under your will. --Excerpted from the Modalities Planned Giving newsletter, Winter 2001.
