Sample Language for Your Will or Trust

The following language may help you and your attorney when drawing up a bequest that meets your needs.

“I give to the University of Missouri-Kansas City Foundation, a nonprofit corporation currently located at 202 Administrative Center, 5115 Oak Street, Kansas City, MO 64112, or its successor thereto, ______________* [written amount or percentage of the estate or description of property] for its unrestricted use and purpose.”

*If you are interested in supporting a specific project or program, it is best to discuss your plans with our planned giving professionals before completing your bequest language to confirm your wishes can be met by UMKC.

Please note: The policies of UMKC do not allow UMKC or its representatives to serve as personal representative, executor, trustee, or witness for a will or trust.
