Why do I Want to Include LSU Eunice in my Will?

Reasons for making a bequest to LSU Eunice can vary for each individual. A deep satisfaction in knowing that you played a vital role in shaping the future of the students, faculty and staff, and the excellent programs that Louisiana State University Eunice has to offer. Memorializing a loved one by establishing a named endowment in honor of them. Knowing that with my bequest, I have assisted in helping LSU Eunice build its endowment thereby directly affecting institutional advancement.

How Do I Make a Bequest?

There are several ways to make a bequest to LSU Eunice.

  • You may choose to bequeath a specific amount of cash from your estate.
  • You may bequeath certain property from your estate, for example, a home, farm land or other real estate, artwork, or other tangible personal property.
  • You can give a fixed percentage of your estate, for example 2%, 5%, 10%, etc. Some donors like this type of bequest because it enables them to give what they feel is an adequate portion of their estate and yet keep an appropriate balance with bequests to heirs and other loved ones.
  • Finally, you can choose to give the rest or residue (what's remaining) of your estate after all other bequests have been satisfied.
