Make a Bequest

Provide for the Validation Training Institute through Your Will or Trust

A bequest is one of the simplest and best ways to make a gift to VTI. You can make a bequest to VTI by including language in your will or trust that leaves:

  • A specific dollar amount or asset
  • A percentage of your estate
  • A portion of or the residue of the estate after specific bequests are paid
  • A designation of VTI as a beneficiary of particular assets such as a retirement account, life insurance policy or bank account


Supporting VTI with a bequest offers many advantages, including:

  • Financial: you may ease the burden of taxes on your family and may receive estate tax savings
  • Simplicity: it only takes a few sentences in your will or trust and anyone can do it. Gifts of all sizes help shape the future and secure VTI’s future financial strength.
  • Control: you retain control of your assets during your lifetime, and a bequest can be modified at any time during your lifetime 
  • Enduring: bequests have a profound impact on the VTI community for generations to come
  • Recognition: a bequest qualifies you for a permanent place on our Wall of Honor. Donors of over $10,000 will be offered free, online coaching by Vicki de Klerk-Rubin (Validation Master) for as long as required by the donor.
