WILL OR TRUST BENEFICIARY

You can name The Lost Church as a beneficiary in your will or trust, designating the gift of your choice (e.g., cash, real estate, personal property, securities). You maintain control of your assets during your lifetime and often save on estate taxes.

Donors can ask their advisors about including The Lost Church in their Will and/or using IRA assets or to fund gifts, such as charitable remainder trusts, that provide income to heirs. For example, charitable remainder trusts may:

  • Provide a steady stream of income for heirs
  • Enable an estate to claim an estate tax deduction, if needed
  • Fund a charitable legacy by naming a donor-advised fund account or other public charity as the beneficiary of trust assets

Naming a charitable beneficiary is easy to do and may result in substantial tax savings for a donor’s heirs and estate.
