Gifts through wills, known as bequests, are one of the easiest ways to make a planned gift to the College. Simply –

Ask your estate planning attorney to add this suggested wording to your will or living trust:
“I give to the American College of Surgeons, Chicago, Ill., (the sum of $--- or --- percent of the rest, residue and remainder of my estate) for its general purposes.”
Next, notify the American College of Surgeons Foundation to ensure that your intentions as a benefactor are confirmed and recognized, or if you prefer, kept anonymous.
