FAQ - Add a Pledge to Charity

• How does a charitable pledge work through the will?
  The will can include a provision for a specific amount of money or a portion of the estate to be donated to a chosen charity. The executor will then be responsible for fulfilling this pledge after the testator's passing, provided there are sufficient funds after settling debts and specific gifts.

• What happens if there isn't enough money in the estate to fulfill the pledge?
  If the estate's assets are insufficient to cover all debts, specific gifts, and the charitable pledge, the pledge may not be fully honored or may not be possible at all. Debts are typically prioritized.

• Can I specify a particular cause or type of charity?
  Yes, you can often specify the exact charity you wish to support or choose from broader categories like children's charities or animal welfare organizations.
