Trends in Gift and Estate Planning
March 31, 2022
Presenter: Rebecca Bibleheimer
Between sunsetting tax provisions currently in place and constantly changing proposals for new tax laws, charitable and estate planning has experienced some major priority shifts and new levels of uncertainty. This session will explore how tax code changes and other recent legislation have affected priorities in planning that have shaped our donors’ goals and how our gift planning tools can be used to creatively meet these changing planning needs and priorities. Topics explored will include the use of life income gifts for various tax planning needs, charitable planning for retirement assets in the wake of the SECURE Act, and accepting charitable gifts of cryptocurrency.
