Planned Giving:
In addition to being one of the simplest ways to distribute your
estate, your estate planning documents such as
wills and trusts can also be a creative vehicle through which to
make thoughtful gifts that may reduce your
estate tax and other taxes.
After providing for the needs of your loved ones, you may
choose one of several ways to benefit the Gateway
Chapter of the Paralyzed Veterans of America, a charitable
organization you may have enjoyed supporting.
By having your attorney revise your trust agreement, or other
estate planning instrument, provide for Gateway
PVA with provisions of a certain dollar amount, specific
property, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder
of your
estate after your loved ones have been taken care of. You
may also wish to name us as your charitable recipients in case
your heirs do not survive you.
Contact our office for more information on planned giving.
