Sample Language for Your Will or Trust

The following language may help you and your attorney when drawing up a bequest that meets your needs.

“I give to the Louisiana Bar Foundation, a nonprofit corporation currently located at 1615 Poydras Street, Suite 1000, New Orleans, Louisiana 70112, or its successor thereto, ______________* [written amount or percentage of the estate or description of property] for its unrestricted use and purpose.”

*If you are interested in supporting a specific project or program, it is best to discuss your plans with our planned giving professionals before completing your bequest language to confirm your wishes can be met by the LBF.

Please note: The policies of the LBF do not allow the LBF or its representatives to serve as personal representative, executor, trustee, or witness for a will or trust.
