Make an Estate Gift

One of the easiest gifts to make to the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts is by way of will or trust. To include the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts in your will, you may use the following language;

"I give and devise to the Regents of the University of Michigan, a Michigan constitutional corporation having the control and management of the University of Michigan,

a) the sum of _______________________, (or)

b) a percentage of my assets ______________, (or)

c) the following property: ________________________ (or),

d) a residual amount (after all other provisions of your estate plan have been satisfied)

to be used for the benefit of the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts for the following purpose ___________________________________________________." [or]

to be used for University purposes determined in the Regents' discretion."

Your will or trust reflects the values you believe in. By including the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts in your estate plan, you are showing that you value the high quality liberal arts education that the University of Michigan offers to its students.
