Wording is:
I give and bequeath % of my estate to Young Animal Protection Society Inc.

Specific Bequests
You can leave a specified dollar amount to your specified charity/ies .. or you can specify a particular asset such as real estate .. a work of art .. shares or jewellery .. the downside of leaving a particular asset is that in the event of you not having updated your Will regularly .. certain assets or chattels may no longer be in your possession and unless you have specified a financial substitution the beneficiary will receive nothing.
