Sample Bequest Language

When it’s time to update your will, you don’t have to start from scratch.

You can use a codicil, an addition or supplement that explains or modifies your existing will.

I give, devise, and bequeath (% or $) _________to Wycliffe Bible Translators, Inc. P.O. Box 620486, Orlando, FL 32862-0486, Federal Tax ID # 95-1831097. In all other respects I ratify and confirm all of the provision of my said last Will and Testament dated on the _________ day of ______________, 20__. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I sign, publish and declare this instrument to be a Codicil to my last Will and Testament in the presence of the persons witnessing said Codicil at my request this _____ day of ___________, 20__. _________________________ residing at __________________________ (name)   Witnesses _________________________ residing at __________________________ (name) _________________________ residing at __________________________ (name)

The codicil, to be valid, must be signed in the presence of witnesses, and the original placed with your other valuable papers. A copy can go to your lawyer and a copy to Wycliffe Bible Translators.
