Planning for the future and creating the legacy you wish to leave is one of the most effective ways to ensure a lasting impact. Making a gift in your will or living trust, known as a bequest, can guarantee that your legacy endures. Your gift may be a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate or the remainder after all other provisions are specified.
Below is suggested language to use when drafting your bequest.

For an unrestricted gift that allows LifeBridge Health-affiliated hospitals and programs to determine how to use the funds based on the most pressing needs, use the following language for your will and/or trust:
“I, [your name], of [your city, state, and zip] give, devise, and bequeath to [Sinai Hospital of Baltimore, Inc., Northwest Hospital Center, Inc., Carroll Hospital Center Foundation, Levindale Hebrew Geriatric Center and Hospital, Inc., Bridging Life Hospice, Grace Medical Center, Center for Hope and/or The Family Tree] [written amount or percentage of the estate or description of property] for its unrestricted use and purpose.”
If you have named LifeBridge Health-affiliated hospitals and programs in your will or trust, please let us know so we can ensure that your gift is used according to your wishes. Notifying us of your plans will enable us to plan for the use of your future gift. However, if you prefer to remain anonymous, we will keep your name and gift in strict confidence.
