Wording to Include IPF in Your Will
By including the Innocence Project of Florida in your Will, you leave a legacy that ensures the injustices from wrongful convictions continue to be corrected even after you’re gone, while still providing long-term financial security for your family and loved ones.
Bequest gifts provide many benefits, including:
-
Simplicity. Just a few sentences in your will or trust are all that is needed.
-
Flexibility. Because you are not actually making a gift until after your lifetime, you can change your mind at any time.
-
Versatility. You can structure the bequest to leave a specific amount of money, make the gift contingent on certain events, or leave a percentage of your estate to us.
-
Tax Relief. If your estate is subject to estate tax, your gift is entitled to an estate tax charitable deduction for the gift’s full value.
