To leave money or property to Purnell School using a residuary bequest, you and your advisors may find the following sample language helpful:

I hereby give, devise, and bequeath to Purnell School, an educational non profit 501(c)(3) corporation located at 51 Pottersville Road in Pottersville, New Jersey, for its general charitable and educational purposes, all the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate after specified obligations, taxes, and expenses have been paid.

Here is an example of how this type of bequest might work:

Jane Doe has made a residuary bequests in her will to Purnell School. Jane's estate was valued at $780,000.00 at the time of her death. After Jane's estate had been settled and all of the taxes, debts, expenses and other obligations (including additional bequests) had been satisfied it was determined that the value of her residual estate was $49,000.00. Using this example, Purnell would receive a gift of $49,000.00 from John's estate.
