Wills & Trusts

Many supporters leave a bequest to Cascade PBS in their wills or trusts to ensure programs they love will continue to bring joy and learning to future generations.

A bequest is one of the easiest gifts to make. With the help of an attorney, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift to be made to family, friends or Cascade PBS as part of your estate plan.

Bequests of real estate, personal property, business interests and cash are typically made by way of a will, revocable trust or even a simple codicil to your current estate plan. Your estate-planning attorney can assist you in preparing the necessary papers for you to complete the bequest.
