August 17, 2023Passing on your belongings is an important part of estate planning. The gifts you leave are a powerful way to provide for the people and causes you care about. And through these gifts — known as bequests — you can create a legacy that lasts long after you're gone.
When considering which charities to include in your will or trust, we hope you will remember St. Joseph Catholic Church. A bequest can be made to our parish using the following language:
“I give [insert specific dollar amount, or percentage of net or residuary] to The Catholic Bishop of Chicago, Tax ID #36-2170826, a corporation sole located in Chicago, Illinois, to be used for the benefit of St. Joseph Catholic Church located in Libertyville, Illinois. However, if St. Joseph Catholic Church ceases to exist in its current form, then to the new parish or parishes erected in its stead.”
Please consult an attorney and financial advisor when drafting your will or trust. For more information, please visit giving.archchicago.org/bequest
