Wills & Bequests

You know best how to incorporate your clients’ wishes into the language of the bequest you are creating. Luther College is a diverse and growing institution. Your clients may have a general idea about what area of the College they wish to support, but may be uncertain about where, precisely, they should direct it. A list of our Current Priorities is provided so that you can help your clients make that decision. Please do not hesitate to contact us for assistance with creating a bequest that both fulfills your clients’ intentions and the goals of the College.

The following are examples of suggested will clauses:

  1. Undesignated/unrestricted bequest:
