Ways to Make a Planned Gift

gifts through

your estate

  • The most practical way to make significant gifts may be through your estate plan, by means of a will, living trust or a beneficiary designation on a life insurance policy or retirement account. Such gifts are wholly revocable while you are alive and may save significant taxes for your estate. (*Consult with your tax or estate planning professional to determine the most appropriate gifting method. )
