When you include The Hamlet in your will, you build your legacy by helping to ensure its future! A bequest to The Hamlet will qualify your estate for a charitable deduction equal to the entire amount you bequeath. Here’s sample language for a general bequest: “I give to LOHO (The Hamlet; federal tax ID #76-0732680), a non-profit charitable organization whose current legal address is 229 Village Road, Lopez Island WA 98261, the sum of $________ (or specifically describe property or percentage of estate or residual), to be used at the discretion of its Board of Directors who may determine how best to apply such gift towards the work of The Hamlet (or list a specific purpose).”
Other legacy options can include naming The Hamlet as a beneficiary of your retirement account or life insurance policy, establishing a Remainder Interest, or setting up a Life Estate Gift.
