Designating the Purpose of a Bequest

   

Unrestricted

The most useful type of bequest is unrestricted, allowing the funds to be allocated by MindFreedom International wherever the need is greatest.

Restricted

You may designate your bequest to support a special program or purpose that reflects your personal or professional interest.

If the bequest is restricted to a specific purpose, it is important that the following wording be added at the end of the provision. This will ensure that, in the remote possibility a specified purpose may cease to need funds in the future, an alternate use for the bequest may be determined.

Designation of the use of the funds bequeathed (devised, in the case of real property) can, or should be, as detailed as is felt necessary to describe adequately the desired use and purpose of the bequest.
