It’s hard to believe, but most Americans do not have a valid will. A will is your way of ensuring that your assets will be passed on to the people and organizations of your choice. A charitable gift through your will can take many forms, such as a specified dollar amount or a percentage of your assets or policies. You can also structure your will in such a way that your loved ones will be provided for and the remainder is designated as a charitable gift. Charitable gifts made through your will are 100% deductible for estate tax purposes. This type of gift could place your estate in a lower tax bracket. Your attorney and financial advisor should be able to help you solidify these commitments.
