An Estate Gift is a deferred, marketable asset that NDCL receives after your lifetime when your will and estate are settled. This is not a gift from your current cash flow. Some common examples of Estate Gifts are:
Bequest: A few sentences in your will that indicates Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin School as the recipient of a percentage of, or a certain amount of cash, securities or property from your estate. After your lifetime, Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin School receives your gift.
