Tips for Consideration
Here are some tips for consideration while you make your plans:
- Consolidating charitable gifts into one year may be more beneficial tax wise than to give a gift every year
- Setting up a trust allows beneficiaries to receive allocations without having to pass through probate
- Utilizing professionals like an estate attorney, CPA and/or a financial planner can help you set up what is right for you
- When giving a qualified charitable distribution through your IRA, make sure the gift goes directly to the nonprofit!
Thank you.
