Bequests—gifts through wills or living trusts—are simple to arrange reduce your taxable estate, and allow you to retain your assets during your lifetime. There is no minimum amount required for a bequest, and you may designate a specific sum or asset, provide for a fixed dollar amount or the residue of your estate to the Crown Family School.

You may also designate the Crown Family School as a beneficiary of a portion or all of your 401k, IRA or other retirement plan.
