Specific Bequest of a certain asset from your estate may be worded:
“I give to Fenway School of Psychology, a Massachusetts nonprofit corporation, or its successor, Federal Tax Identification Number 05-0505055, [insert here a description of the particular property].”

“I give to Fenway School of Psychology, a Massachusetts nonprofit corporation, or its successor, Federal Tax Identification Number 05-0505055, all [or a portion] of the rest, residue and remainder of my estate.”
