Wills and Bequests

No other document is more personal than your Will - and through it you can provide a charitable gift of lasting value to assist the work of Divine Word College.

Through your Will you can assist Divine Word College in their special mission of educating future missionaries to carry Christ's message throughout the world.

Through your Will you can provide a gift for the College in your name or in the name of your family or a loved one.

Your Will is a valuable privilege - protect yourself and your family by:

* Asking your attorney to guide you through the Will-making process.
* Deciding the persons and/or the charities you want to be the recipients of your property.
* Preparing a legal Will to insure that your wishes are recorded in correct legal form.

If you decide to include Divine Word College in your will, to assist in the education of young men for missionary priesthood and brotherhood, the following phrases may be of help to you and your attorney:

To Specify a Fixed Amount:
I give, devise and bequeath to Divine Word College at Epworth, Iowa, the sum of $_________________ to carry on its good work.

To Specify the Remainder of your Estate after Loved Ones have been provided for:
All the rest residue and remainder of my estate I give, devise and bequeath to Divine Word College at Epworth, Iowa.

To Specify a Percentage of the Remainder of your Estate:
I give, devise and bequeath to Divine Word College at Epworth, Iowa, __________% of all the rest residue and remainder of my estate.

To Specify Memorials:
In memory of _____________________ I hereby give, devise and bequeath to Divine Word College at Epworth, Iowa _______% of the rest residue and remainder of my estate. Or In memory of _____________________ I leave the sum of $__________ to Divine Word College at Epworth, Iowa.

It is not necessary to do so, but if you have no objection we would like to know if you have remembered Divine Word College, because we would like to thank you personally for your kindness and thoughtfulness.
