MAKE A DIFFERENCE – LEAVE A LEGACY TO YOUR SAFE HAVEN, INC.
Charitable organizations need financial assistance from people like you to continue their work. More than 80% of Americans contribute to the nonprofit groups of their choice throughout their lifetimes. However, only around 8% of people chose to continue this support through a charitable bequest.
By making bequests and other “planned gifts,” you can continue to help organizations that are making a difference in your community.
A charitable bequest is simply a distribution from your estate to a charitable organization through your last will and testament. There are different kinds of bequests. For each, you must use very specific language to indicate the precise direction of your assets, and to successfully carry out your final wishes. In any charitable bequest, be sure to name the recipient accurately.
Do you have an estate?
Your estate is the sum of your assets, including property you own, insurance policies, retirement accounts, cash on hand, etc. You may be thinking, “I have children and relatives, shouldn’t I leave my entire estate to them?” This is perhaps the number one cause for reluctance when making a bequest. The truth is that, depending on the current tax laws, leaving a gift to charity in your will may reduce the estate tax burden on your heirs significantly. You should consult with a financial advisor or attorney to learn how giving may actually benefit your family after you are gone.
Types of Bequests
General Bequest – Are legacies left to certain people or nonprofit organizations that come from the general value of the estate, and are made by designating a specific dollar amount, a particular asset or a fixed percentage of your estate to the cause of your choice.
Residuary Bequests – Are made when you intend to leave the residue portion of your assets after other terms of the will have been satisfied.
Contingency Bequests – Allow you to leave a portion of your estate to a particular charity if your named beneficiary does not survive you.
Without a will, there is no mechanism in place to make a bequest, so here are the steps you should take to make sure your wishes are granted:
- Make a list of organizations or causes that you would like to support
- Make a detailed list of your assets (financial, real estate, vehicles, jewelry, collectibles, musical instruments, insurance policies, retirement, etc.)
- Set up an appointment with your financial advisor or attorney. These individuals will help to guide you through this process.
