Wills & Bequests

You can include Pacific Battleship Center in your will as a way of investing in our plans to expand restoration efforts, improve and increase exhibits, and provide quality educational programs without having to give up crucial assets needed during your lifetime.

A charitable bequest to Pacific Battleship Center made in your will can take many forms. You can make a bequest to Pacific Battleship Center by designating a specific sum of money, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder of your estate after other beneficiaries receive the portion you designate.

Through a contingent bequest, you can make Pacific Battleship Center the beneficiary of your estate if your spouse or other beneficiary passes away before you. You can also create a charitable trust through your will that will benefit individuals you choose during their lifetimes with the remainder after they die passing to Pacific Battleship Center.

While you receive no immediate tax benefits from a bequest to Pacific Battleship Center, every dollar contributed is deductible for estate tax purposes, relieving your spouse and loved ones of added estate tax burdens.

To make a bequest to Pacific Battleship Center you will need to use the correct language in your will: “I hereby give and bequeath [cash amount or percentage amount you are giving] to Pacific Battleship Center, Los Angeles, California, for its general purposes.” To ensure that your wishes are followed exactly, we suggest include Pacific Battleship Center full name and address in your will:
