THE ADVANTAGES OF PLANNED GIFTS ARE FOR EVERYONE

Many folks are under the misunderstanding that bequests and planned gifts are only for those who are financially well off. In fact, there are tax benefits for people of every means that can have a positive impact in the here and now as well as in the future. Even if you don't itemize deductions, there can be a planned giving option that can benefit you.

 

Death tax, inheritance tax, estate tax . . . no matter what you call them, a well thought out planned gift can help you transfer more money to your family even though a charitable donation is part of the plan.
