Steps to a Legacy Gift

Design

Your financial picture is unique, and so is your planned gift. Planning your gift may enable you to send more into action or to protect more future value for you and your family. Here are some of the more common gifts that you might consider:

• Bequest:Make a gift after your lifetime through your will or trust. This can be a fixed dollar amount, a specific asset, or a percentage of your estate.
• Charitable Trust:Trusts can combine flexible benefits including a generous income, tax benefits and a powerful gift to the theatre.
• Retirement Account:This can be the most heavily taxed asset in many estates. Choosing this as your gift might leave your less tax-burdened assets to your loved ones.
• Other:Many other giving opportunities might prove ideal for your situation.
