Planned Gifts
Planned gifts, also known as legacy gifts, are the result of financial planning often involving a future estate. These gifts include bequests in wills, trusts, life insurance, personal property, and annuities. Planned gifts allow you to manage your estate more efficiently while offering you the opportunity to provide for a beneficiary, give to a charitable cause and could provide retained income for life, all at the same time.
One of the most popular planned gifts our donors choose is a bequest in their will or living trust. This is an easy way to ensure your assets, even if only one home, are cared for in the manner of your choosing, after your death.
