Name Webster as a Beneficiary (Will, Retirement, Investment)

Gifts through your will or retirement plan allow you to maintain your assets during your lifetime, and potentially reduce taxes on your estate, while ensuring your legacy and Webster’s long-term future. You may indicate that Webster is to receive the entire amount, specific property, a specific amount, a percentage, or a portion of the balance remaining (residue). You can direct your gift to a particular purpose.

If you have a bank or investment account to give directly to Webster University, ask your bank manager or officer of your financial advisor for the appropriate form. Usually, a "pay on death” (P.O.D.) provision for a bank account or a CD or a “transfer on death” (T.O.D.) provision for certain other investment accounts is all that is needed. Notify Webster of your intentions using the Bequest Intention Form (PDF) or by contacting the Office of Advancement. Webster University (ID 43-0662529) is located at 470 E Lockwood Ave, St. Louis, MO 63119.
