Several types of bequests can be included in a will:

• - Specific bequest (a specific amount or a specific asset);
• - Residual bequest (all or a percentage of what remains after debts and specific bequests have been paid);
• - Universal bequest (all assets, sometimes divided among several beneficiaries);
• - The designation of a beneficiary of an RRSP, a pension fund, or a life insurance policy. Here are the clauses most commonly used by lawyers and notaries:
  • -- I bequeath to the Aphasia House Foundation, Province of Quebec, Charitable, Organization Registration Number: 80987 4837 R0001, the sum of $____________ to support the Foundation in its activities.
  • -- I bequeath to the Aphasia House Foundation, province of Quebec, Charitable Organization Registration Number: 80987 4837 R0001, __________% of all movable and immovable property that will make up my estate, in order to support the Foundation in carrying out its mission of supporting the AQPA.
