Charitable gifts included as part of your long-range estate and financial planning can offer a wonderful way to provide lasting support to organizations and institutions that will survive well into the future. It’s possible to make a “gift of a lifetime” to Habitat LA while possibly minimizing taxes and settlement costs and conserving more of your estate for your loved ones.
- Estate gifts can be funded with cash, securities, real estate or other property.
- A gift of all or a portion of the “residue” of your estate refers to property remaining after all distributions to family and others have been satisfied.
- Gifts may be stated in terms of a percentage of an estate, thereby allowing gifts to increase or decrease depending on the value of the assets remaining.
- Increasingly popular gift planning tools enable you to make a meaningful gift while enjoying increased income (for life or for another determined period of time), tax savings and other benefits.
