Some landowners choose to donate to a land trust by means of a simple bequest in their will, leaving them maximum flexibility over their land during their lifetime and ample opportunity to consider conservation practices and uses. This may be accomplished by a simple statement or codicil to a will, or by means of a living trust. Additionally, PAC is always grateful to those who remember us in their estate planning with cash bequests.

In all cases, the landowner and the land trust must clearly understand each other's intentions. Landowners considering this option should consult their estate planner for legal advice and the land trust for a conservation plan for the property's future.
