INCLUDING THE WILDERNESS LAND TRUST IN YOUR ESTATE PLANNING

  

   The goal of the Wilderness Land Trust is to

   eliminate inholdings within the National Wilderness

   Preservation System. Your estate planning can

   help achieve this goal, which is capital intensive and

   will take many generations to accomplish.

 

  

 

Here is sample language for the four most common types of bequests. You may want to discuss these with your attorney as  you work on revising your will:

 

Specific Property: I give, devise, and bequeath to the Wilderness Land Trust, PO Box 1420, Carbondale, Colorado, 81623, the following property: _________ [identify an investment position or provide the legal description of a piece of real estate].

 

Dollar Amount: I give, devise, and bequeath to the Wilderness Land Trust, PO Box 1420, Carbondale, Colorado, 81623, _____ dollars of my estate

 

Percentage: I give, devise, and bequeath to the Wilderness Land Trust, PO Box 1420, Carbondale, Colorado, 81623, _____% of my estate.

 

Residue: I give, devise, and bequeath to the Wilderness Land Trust, PO Box 1420, Carbondale, Colorado, 81623, all the residue of my estate, including real and personal property.
