Writing Out Your Will?

Here are some example clauses that your lawyer may choose to reference:

1. A share of the residue (designates a percentage of the remainder of your estate, once debts and specific gifts in your will have been paid):

“I give to Young Life of Canada, 120 – 9440 202 St., Langley, BC V1M 4A6, Registration no. 119306918 RR 0001 _______ percent of the residue of my estate for its charitable purposes.”

2. A specific gift in your will (designates a specific amount of cash or other assets):

“I give to Young Life of Canada, 120 – 9440 202 St., Langley, BC V1M 4A6, Registration no. 119306918 RR 0001 the sum of $________ (or a description of the property or asset) for its charitable purposes.”
