BENEFITS OF BEQUESTS
A charitable bequest in your will, trust, or other estate plans can provide lasting support to the VIA while conserving your family’s inheritance and avoiding taxation. This type of giving is recognized and rewarded by tax laws, and with careful planning can maximize your legacy. Your lawyer or estate planner can help you decide how to best remember the Village Improvement Association.
Keep in mind:
- Charitable bequests may be made with cash, securities, real estate or other property.
- Charitable bequests may be stated in terms of a percentage of the estate, or as a residue of the estate.
- Charitable bequests may be memorials commemorating a family or an individual.
Whatever means of giving you and your advisors deem to be most appropriate for your individual circumstances, the outcome will essentially be the same.
You will:
- support a cause that is important to you,
- reap attractive tax savings benefits,
- establish your legacy and
- benefit future generations.
