What about charitable bequests?
by David M. Israel

Although most people prefer to leave their estates to their relatives and friends, the testator may decide to give some or even all of their property to a charitable institution such as a registered charity, a church or a synagogue.  This is often the case where there are no children or close relatives remaining to the testator and the estate is therefore given to one or more charitable institutions.
