We recommend that your seek your own, independent legal advice when putting together your will. A a guide on how to structure your bequest. For example, for a General Bequest;
“I give to Lincoln College, the sum of $… or …% of my estate, to be used in such manner Lincoln College determines or approves and I declare that the receipt of an authorised officer of the College shall be sufficient discharge to my Trustee, who shall not be bound to see the application of the gift.”
Alternatively, if you are looking to donate to a specific area or cause;
“I give to Lincoln College, the sum of $……. or …….% of my estate, and I express the wish, without creating a trust, that this gift be used for ….. , and I declare that the receipt of an authorised officer of the College shall be sufficient discharge to my Trustee, who shall not be bound to see the application of the gift.”
Note; Where your bequest is designated for a specific purpose, Lincoln College will make every effort to respect your wishes. If this original purpose becomes inappropriate, a provision in your Will allowing the College to redirect the funds, in keeping as far as possible with the spirit and general intent of the bequest, will be useful to include.

We rely on the contributions of others to make this possible. Donations to Lincoln College are tax deductible and will be valued no matter how large or small.
