Through your will, you identify the people you want to handle your estate. You can provide for your family, friends, and charitable organizations.
You can include this language in your will at any time and costs you nothing during your lifetime.
- You can specify an amount or a percentage of your estate to grow along with your estate.
- You can ensure your wishes for family and friends are met first. Simply specify that NHF is to receive (or share in) the rest and residual of your estate, after your estate expenses and specific bequests are paid.
- You can even choose to name NHF the contingent beneficiary of a bequest intended for a surviving loved one, in the event that he or she does not survive you.
