Including NYALT in your Will
The following is a Sample Bequest language that may be helpful as you consider including NYALT in your will [you will want to consult your attorney to confirm the language]:
“I give and devise to the New York Agricultural Land Trust, Inc., located in Elbridge, New York, my entire residual estate (or ________percent of my estate, or _____ dollars from my estate, or my land located on [name of road(s)], in [name of town, state]) towards their farmland protection, outreach work, and developing a sustainable conservation organization.”
If you wish to donate an easement (protect your farm after your lifetime), you can use this language in your Will [again verify with your attorney, and contact NYALT]:
“I direct my executor to conserve my land, located on [name of road(s)], in the town of [name of town], in [state], prior to transferring it out of my estate, with the New York Agricultural Land Trust, Inc., located in the town of Elbridge, New York. I understand that NYALT will use its then current model conservation easement, and adapt it as necessary, to conserve my property. They will use their professional judgment to create a conservation plan for my property. I further direct my executor to convey the necessary stewardship and legal defense funds needed to oversee the protection of my property in perpetuity, as normally calculated by NYALT.”
Please notify NYALT if you plan on doing this so that we can provide you with updated language. NYALT will keep your bequest confidential if you would like. NYALT suggests that you consult with your family and estate planning team to discuss if a bequest will meet your goals. We are happy to meet with you to discuss possible options as well. Please feel free to contact us if you would like to discuss this option.
We are always looking for volunteers to assist with our outreach efforts.
