How to put Canterbury School into Your Will
You can contact your attorney to draft a new will (or add a codicil to your current will) including us as a beneficiary to your will. There are four principal ways you can include us in your will:

1. Specific Bequest: You can give a specific amount or a specific asset: "I leave $25,000 to Canterbury School."
2. Percent Bequest: "I leave 30% of my estate to each of my three children and 10% to Canterbury School.
3. Residual Bequest: "I leave what is left (or a percentage of what is left) after all my specific bequests and debts are taken care of to Canterbury School."
4. Contingent Bequest: "If my husband does not survive or is unable to receive my assets or disclaims this bequest, I direct that it be paid to Canterbury School."
