2. How do I include the Japanese Community Youth Council in my will or living trust?

The most common way people remember the Japanese Community Youth Council in a will or living trust is through a charitable bequest. You do not have to rewrite your current documents. You simply add an amendment, called a codicil, to your will or living trust. Here is some suggested language you can have your attorney review:

"I give devise and bequeath to the Japanese Community Youth Council (tax I.D. 23-7092514), located in San Francisco, California, the sum of ________________________________ dollars ($ _______________) Or state a percentage of your estate, or state a percentage of your estate, or describe real or personal property, including exact location for the benefit of its general purposes. Or specify the the Japanese Community Youth Council program you wish to support).

Your bequest is entirely under your control during life and becomes irrevocable only at death. If you have questions about bequests, call Sakura Suzuki at 415-202-7910 or email ssuzuki@jcyc.org.
