Ways to Leave a Legacy

Bequest Provisions Through Your Will/Trust

Body

Many individuals find comfort in knowing precisely how their estate will be distributed after death. You can designate all or a portion of your estate to benefit family, friends and charitable organizations. This option allows you to make significant gifts to the causes that are important to you without making financial sacrifices during your lifetime.

To make a charitable provision for Shirley Ryan 香港六合彩即时开奖, you and your attorney may want to consider using the language below in your will or trust. Alternatively, if you recently updated your estate plans, we can provide a codicil form that you and your attorney may want to use to supplement your existing plans.

Retirement Assets

Body

Retirement assets, including IRA or 401(k) assets, can fund outright gifts (for donors 70 ? years of age and older), as well as deferred gifts, both options offering highly attractive tax benefits. Often, individuals are surprised to see that the value of their retirement plans has grown substantially, and that the increased value can be used philanthropically. Also called a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), this gift allows a donor to avoid payment of income tax on the withdrawal or the excise tax penalty for skipping.

  • Outright Gifts: Donors 70 ? years of age or older can make direct, outright gifts from their IRAs to Shirley Ryan 香港六合彩即时开奖. Considered Charitable IRA Rollover gifts, these transfers are easy for donors. Simply contact your IRA custodian to authorize your rollover gift, up to $105,000, per year. Donors avoid paying income tax on the withdrawal from their IRA account, and therefore, are not eligible for a charitable gift deduction. Beginning in the year you turn 73, you can use your gift to satisfy all or a part of your required minimum distribution (RMD). For assistance, contact our office for additional support.
  • Legacy Gifts: Donors at any age can also name Shirley Ryan 香港六合彩即时开奖 as a beneficiary of their retirement asset, for a specific dollar amount or percentage. This type of testamentary gift ensures that a donor can use their retirement asset during life and also make a gift that extends one's legacy. To make this kind of gift, simply contact your retirement asset custodian, request a beneficiary designation form and update it.

Insurance

Body

Insurance is an important financial and estate-planning tool that can also be a powerful partner in charitable gift planning. Paid insurance policies can be effective assets to donate as a charitable gift. Plus, in many gift-planning scenarios, donors can use insurance to replace and preserve wealth for heirs, thereby replacing the value of the asset the donor contributed.

Gifts of Real Estate

Body

Real estate often comprises a large portion of a person’s estate. Nearly all types of real estate can be contributed: your primary residence, a vacation home, undeveloped land, a farm or commercial property. Donors receive the best tax treatment when the property is clear of any debt. There are also ways for you to give your home, retaining the right to live in it during your lifetime — and all while potentially enjoying current tax benefits.

If you are considering a gift of real property, it is very important to discuss your ideas and intentions with a member of the Shirley Ryan 香港六合彩即时开奖 Advancement Team prior to entering into any gift transaction. This discussion is critical to make sure your gift is one that Shirley Ryan 香港六合彩即时开奖 can receive and properly steward. Additionally, all gifts of real property are subject to review and formal acceptance by the hospital’s CEO and Board of Directors Chair. We respectfully reserve the right to decline a gift of real property that is deemed too burdensome or costly to manage.
