Support
Sociology: Consider a Bequest.
A bequest by will, revocable living trust, or other similar plan offers
alumni one of the more flexible ways of supporting the Sociology
department while preserving the donor’s financial security.
Assets from an estate can pass under will or trust to legatees in the
following ways:
•The donor directs that a specific amount come to the department. With
this option donors know exactly what sun will be applied to the
department.
•Similarly, a donor can designate a specific item or asset to be given
to the department.
•A donor can also specify that a percentage of the value of the estate
go to the department. Provisions for family members should, of course,
come first in a donor’s estate plans.
Prior consultation with a University representative will ensure that
the assets will be put to its best use and fit in with long-term goals
of the department. For additional information, please write or call
Mary H Tambiah, Director of the Office of Gift and Estate Planning. One
