Bequests

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to get your estate plan in place, now is an ideal time. If you’d like to contribute towards a positive future for the diverse body of students at UAlbany, know that you can designate a planned gift, also known as a bequest, to the University at Albany Foundation. These gifts cost you nothing today but will help UAlbany students succeed for years to come.

An estate plan is one of the best ways to account for your wishes while also helping you establish a legacy of meaning and impact with the organizations that are important to you. University at Albany Foundation has partnered with FreeWill to help you through your common estate planning needs, so you can complete this important process for free and under 20 minutes.

Beneficiary Designations

Did you know you may have additional assets not covered in your will or trust? If you have an IRA, 401(k), life insurance policy, or any additional accounts, these are called “non-probate assets” and they need to be planned for separately. 

Using the free online tool below, you can log all of your assets, receive printable instructions on how to set each one up with your broker, and even include the University at Albany Foundation as a beneficiary to further support the education of students at UAlbany.
