Leave a Legacy of Love in Your Will
Leaving a legacy of love for the animals at the Huron County Humane Society is a profound way to ensure that vulnerable dogs, cats, and small animals continue to receive the safe shelter, medical care, and compassion they deserve for years to come. Including a charitable gift, known as a bequest, in your will is simple, and it costs nothing during your lifetime while making an extraordinary difference for future generations of shelter pets.
To help you and your attorney or estate planner include the Huron County Humane Society in your final plans, please use our official organizational details below.
Official Organization Name: Huron County Humane Society
Physical and Mailing Address: 246 Woodlawn Ave, Norwalk, OH 44857
Federal Tax Identification Number (EIN): 34-1187564
There are several flexible ways you can shape your gift to match your personal wishes and estate goals:
Specific Bequest: You can designate a specific dollar amount, such as five thousand dollars, or a particular piece of property to support our daily rescue and care operations.
Percentage Bequest: You can designate a specific percentage of your total estate, such as ten percent, ensuring that your gift scales appropriately with the total value of your assets.
Residual Bequest: You can gift all or a portion of what remains in your estate after you have provided for your loved ones and covered all final expenses.
Sample Wording for Your Will or Codicil
To ensure your intentions are carried out precisely as you wish, you or your legal advisor can share the following sample language with the attorney drafting your will:
"I give, devise, and bequeath to the Huron County Humane Society, a non-profit organization currently located at 246 Woodlawn Ave, Norwalk, OH 44857, with Federal Tax ID number 34-1187564, the sum of [insert dollar amount, specific asset, or percentage of the residuary estate] to be used for its general charitable purposes and the care of animals in need."
