Charitable Gift Annuity

A charitable gift annuity enables you to transfer cash or marketable securities to the charitable organization issuing the gift annuity in exchange for a current income tax deduction and the organization’s promise to make fixed annual payments to you for life. Annuity payments can begin immediately or can be deferred to some future date.

Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust

A charitable remainder annuity trust is a custom designed and individually managed trust that enables you to retain a fixed income for your lifetime or a fixed term of years, claim a current income tax deduction and make a future gift to charity.

Planned Gifts

A Will

At your death, a will assists your personal representative in distributing your assets to other people or to a charity. If you do not have a will, you are powerless over how your assets are distributed. Instead, the laws of the state where you reside, the state in which you spend most of your time, register to vote and hold your driver’s license, determine how your assets are divided.

Revocable Living Trust

A revocable intervivos or “living” trust is an important part of the estate plan of many people. Intervivos means “during life,” which is when the trust is established. Revocable means that the creator (also known as the grantor) of the trust can change the terms of the trust or revoke it completely during his or her lifetime. Assets in trust are not part of your will. They are transferred according to the instructions in the trust document at the time of your death.

Power of Attorney

A general power of attorney permits the holder of the power to act on behalf of another individual—the grantor—and lapses upon the grantor’s incompetence. A durable power of attorney survives the incompetence of the grantor and allows the holder of the power to act. This document can be used when a grantor lapses from competence to incompetence for periods of time.
