Leave Your Legacy: Using Life Insurance for Charitable Giving

Understand ways in which to work with a donor and a charity to meet the goals of each entity.

Whether you are representing a donor or a charity in your planning, deferred giving is an important tool in both charitable gifting and personal estate planning. In many cases, using life insurance can bring about a personal benefit as well as a benefit to a charity, and knowing the various alternatives and the issues involved with each is critically important in such planning. Knowing the objectives of each in the planning process is important and this topic helps those involved in estate and charitable planning attain those objectives. Many persons engage in charitable planning without realizing the benefits of utilizing existing or newly purchased policies in a way that can save taxes, increase a donor's cash flow or investments for the donor's family. You will be provided the tools for a planner to achieve goals in ways not previously utilized.
