Suggested Wording for Your Will

An unrestricted bequest allows the Archdiocese of Saint Boniface, one of its parishes or schools to use your gift where the need is greatest, while a restricted bequest is a gift made for a specific purpose.

Here is an example of suggested wording for a bequest of unrestricted use to the Archdiocese of Saint Boniface:

I give and bequeath to * La Corporation Archiépiscopale Catholique Romaine de Saint‑Boniface (also known as the Archdiocese of Saint Boniface, registration no. 11898 9359 RR0001), Winnipeg, Manitoba, the sum of $_____ (specific amount) or _____% (a percentage) of the residue of my estate to be used for its general purposes as the Archdiocese of Saint Boniface sees fit.
