Will or living trust bequests
Pass on your assets, and your heart for healthcare, by including MUSC in your will or living trust.
Including a legacy gift in your will or revocable living trust costs you nothing now, but helps support MUSC’s mission to provide accessible healthcare, research, scholarships, and more.
Will bequest
A bequest is one of the easiest ways you can leave a charitable gift to MUSC. A will bequest provides direction in your will for a gift to MUSC by naming the MUSC Foundation as a beneficiary of a portion or all of your estate.
Revocable living trust bequest
A revocable living trust (RLT) can replace your will as the primary way to distribute your property, while allowing your assets to pass to your heirs without probate. This could potentially reduce costs and keep your affairs private.
