Thank you for your consideration of including Avon Land Trust, Inc. in your will.  Our recent acquisition of 8.5 acres and an 1820 barn was the result of a will bequest by Marge Dubiel. 

Below is suggested sample language to share with your attorney.

“I give (or bequeath) to Avon Land Trust, Inc., Avon, CT, a non-stock charitable corporation, for the general charitable purposes, the following assets: _____________.”

In many cases, it might make sense to name Avon Land Trust, Inc., as a percentage beneficiary of your estate; that way your estate plan can reflect your overall intent and goals regardless of valuation fluctuations.

If you wish your bequest to be used for a specific purpose, we would be happy to talk with you confidentially about your plans. Our goal is to be sure that your legacy is carried out exactly as you intend. 

Once your plans are in place, please let us know so that we can invite you to join our special events throughout the year.
