Sample Will Clauses:

We have a number of draft clauses for wills, which can be provided for information purposes only. They do not reflect the individual language of every will, but are intended as illustrations of the types of clauses which may be appropriate to insert into a will. The sample clauses must be adapted as necessary to reflect each person's planning objectives, financial circumstances and tax exposure.

The Community Foundation of Ottawa strongly advises that any person considering the inclusion of clauses of this type in his or her will, discuss the matter with his or her own legal and financial advisors. The Community Foundation of Ottawa shall not be responsible for any reliance on the samples provided. Prospective donors or their advisors are encouraged to contact the Community Foundation to discuss the types of gifts that may be appropriate. For more information, please contact Bibi Patel, Vice-President, at 613-236-1616 ext. 226, for more information.
