Gift Planning Making a Provision for Westmont

Remembering Westmont in your will or revocable trust allows you to make a significant gift to the college and maintain control over your assets during your life.

The terms of your will or revocable trust are flexible and can be changed throughout your lifetime should you decide to modify your charitable bequests.
 

Bequest language is simple. The charitable bequest can be either a fixed dollar amount, a percentage of the total estate, or a percentage of the residual estate. If you wish to direct your provision for the endowment, scholarships or other purposes, it is important that you include this information in your will or trust. Please contact us if you wish to discuss how best to restrict a gift and/or to notify us of your intention. Leaving a charitable bequest to Westmont is a special way to leave a legacy for future generations.
