Three things you need in addition to a Will

You can add your church to your will by adding one of the following examples to your Will.
"I bequeath to (insert your church name here) the amount of $10,000." Of course the amount can be any amount you wish to leave to your church.
"I bequeath 10% of all remaining assets of my estate to (insert your church name here)." Again, you can put any percentage you wish. The 10% suggestion would be a tithe of your assets.
For those who wish to leave specific amounts to others before the church, the following example can be used. "I give, devise and bequeath to (insert your church name here) the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, both real and personal."
