About bequests

A bequest costs you nothing, yet gives you the satisfaction of knowing you have provided for the Aging Forward Alliance in the future. You retain control of and use of your assets during your lifetime, and you may modify your bequest if your circumstances change.

Bequests can be made easily through your will in one of these ways:

  • A specific bequest of money, security, piece of real estate, or other asset:

    “I leave (dollar-amount or asset) to the Aging Forward Alliance, 5559 NW Barry Road, Box #333, Kansas City, MO 64154, Tax ID#43-1056482, to be used for its general purposes.”

  • A percentage of an estate:

    “I give and bequeath to the Aging Forward Alliance, 5559 NW Barry Road, Box #333, Kansas City, MO 64154, Tax ID#43-1056482, a percentage of the rest, residue and remainder of my estate to be used for its general purposes.”

  • A residual bequest made from what is left in an estate after all other bequests have been made:

    “All the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, real and personal, I give, devise and bequeath to the Aging Forward Alliance, 5559 NW Barry Road, Box #333, Kansas City, MO 64154, Tax ID#43-1056482, to be used for its general purposes.”
