Gifts By Will

Wills are the instruments by which assets are disposed at an individual's death. Making a will is an important decision and is necessary for assets to be distributed according to an individual's wishes. In the state of Texas, if there is no will, statutory requirements dictate how the property passes.

A will is a straightforward means of providing for Baptist causes and continuing a legacy of stewardship at an individual's death. Baptist Foundation of Texas (the Foundation)  is prepared to assist individuals and their attorneys in making provisions for Baptist causes under their wills.  The Foundation will provide draft language for the individual's attorney regarding the charitable gift.  The Foundation does not draft wills for individuals because Baptist institutions are the clients of Baptist Foundation of Texas. Therefore, the Foundation believes that it would be a conflict of interest for our attorneys to draft a will under which a Baptist institution would benefit.

If you are interested in learning more about making and maintaining your will, contact the Trust Division.
