A bequest to Preservation North Carolina in a donor's will is a simple form of planned gift.

Bequests may be for cash, securities, real estate or property of any description.

It may be a percentage of the estate's value or of the residuary. The donor retains full control and use of the property during his or her lifetime.

At such time as the will containing the bequest to PNC is probated, the bequest qualifies as a charitable deduction in computing estate and inheritance taxes.

Example of a bequest:

Coolmore Plantation (near Tarboro) was donated to PNC thorugh the will of Joseph C. Powell. members of his family have made planned gifts for its endowment thorugh the North Carolina Community Foundation.
