Wills and Living Trusts

You can support Tohono Chul Park through your will or living trust as a percentage of your total estate by leaving the Park a specific amount, or by specifying a gift to the Park of the residue or a percentage of the residue of your estate.

We have provided details for each, along with sample bequest language for your attorney.

1. A percentage of your total estate — In using this approach, your gift adjusts with changes in the size of your estate.

Sample bequest language for your attorney:

"I give (insert percentage of estate) to Tohono Chul Park , a nonprofit corporation located at 7366 North Paseo del Norte, 85704, Tucson , Arizona .”


2. The residue or a percentage of the residue of your estate — After your specific gifts to loved ones have been made, you may designate that the entire residue or a percentage of the remainder shall go to one or more charitable organizations. With this approach, too, your gift adjusts with changes in the size of your estate.

3. A gift of a specific amount — You may specify a dollar amount to be given to one or more charitable organizations. With this kind of gift, it is especially important to keep your will or trust up-to-date.
