Planned Giving

Include Life Legal Defense Foundation in your estate plan.

You can include LLDF in your planning with a specific gift amount, or with a percentage of your residual estate. Typical language for the gift could be:

“I hereby give to The Life Legal Defense Foundation, a non-profit corporation under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, P.O. Box 2105, Napa, CA 94558, the sum of $________.”

OR

“All or a % of my residual estate to be used for their general purposes.”
