Include Us In Your Estate Planning
Most people would like to leave their mark on the world; to
do something that makes the earth a better place in which to live. Your contributions to the future are a
wonderful way to make a significant impact upon our world and they can serve to
reflect your values. So why not continue
that support through your estate plan?
Consider a bequest:
Gifts through your will can be a particular item or a percentage of your
estate. They can be contingent (passing
to us only if another beneficiary dies before you) or in trust, providing
income to your spouse or children before passing for our benefit.
Give life
insurance: You can name us as
the beneficiary of a policy on your life or contribute an old policy that you
no longer need.
Leave financial
accounts: You can indicate that
savings, CD’s or other financial accounts, including IRA’s will be payable to
us upon your death. As your account
custodian for details. Bequests of IRA’s
save significant taxes.
Include us in your
revocable trust: Lifetime trusts
(revocable living trusts) are popular for many reasons. They relieve the property owner of management
responsibilities, reduce probate costs, afford privacy and can be changed
without the formalities of a will. You
can include us as a beneficiary of your revocable trust.
