VARIOUS PLANNED GIFT OPTIONS
BEQUESTS | A provision made in your will, where the Conservatory receives cash and/or other assets at the time of your death. Gifts avoid estate tax on the assets given.
CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITIES | A legal contract between you and the Conservatory, where you exchange cash, stock or other assets for an agreed-upon income for life.
CHARITABLE REMAINDER TRUSTS | Your gift transfers assets to a trust, which ultimately is distributed to the Conservatory after the death of the last income beneficiary. You (and/or other income beneficiaries) retain a fixed or variable income for life.
LIFE ESTATE CONTRACTS | An agreement established by you to transfer a deed of real property to the Conservatory while reserving for yourselves or someone else the right to live on or use the property for life.
CHARITABLE LEAD TRUSTS | Your gift transfers assets to a trust that provides income to the Conservatory for a period of years. At the end of that period, the trust assets revert either to the donor or someone else the donor designates.
RETIREMENT PLAN ASSETS | When left to the Conservatory, these assets can escape both estate and income taxation. Gifts from your individual retirement accounts and qualified retirement plans offer distinct tax advantages.
LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES | You have two options: (1) transfer the existing ownership of your existing policy to the Conservatory or (2) purchase life insurance and name the Conservatory as the beneficiary and/or owner.
