A bequest in your will or living trust is an uncomplicated way to help protect animals.
A bequest may take several forms. It can be specific sum, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder of your estate after expenses and gifts to loved ones. Bequests can include cash, securities, real estate, houses, and personal property such as valuable collections, art, or jewelry.
Living trusts are a popular choice because the terms of a living trust, unlike a will, can be put into effect immediately upon your death, bypassing probate and keeping the terms private.
When you include The HSUS in your will or living trust, you are entitled to join our recognition society, Humane Legacy, even if you wish your gift to remain anonymous. Participants receive special recognition in our annual report and announcements of special HSUS events.
For more information about leaving something to The HSUS in your will, please contact the Major and Planned Gifts Office toll free at 1-800-808-7858, or email us at gifts@humanesociety.org.
