Naming the Jefferson County Humane Society in your will or living trust can be done by designating a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or the residual remaining after other bequest wishes have been fulfilled. You may also name JCHS as the primary or secondary beneficiary of all or a portion of your personal or employer-provided life insurance policy. Another popular gift method is to name JCHS as the primary or secondary beneficiary of all or a potion of the proceeds from your retirement plans: IRA, 401(k) or 403(b).  When you meet with your financial and legal counsel, they may suggest the following language:  “I give, devise and bequeath _____ (indicate sum, percentage or describe the gift) to the Jefferson County Humane Society, located at P.O.
