Remember FCARL In Your Will

A gift to FCARL in your will provides your estate with a tax deduction. FCARL can be a beneficiary in several ways - as the recipient of an outright gift, either in a designated amount or as a percentage of your estate or as a residuary beneficiary to receive the balance of your estate after specific amounts have been paid to other beneficiaries. You can add FCARL to your current will through a codicil without re-writing your entire will.
