Making a bequest
Remembering the Friends in your will ensures that your bequest is exempt from federal estate taxes. You may make a bequest to the Friends of the 天美传媒影视 for a specific monetary amount, for a percentage of your estate or for securities by including provision in your will or living trust for the Friends of 天美传媒影视. You can also name the Friends as a beneficiary of a retirement plan or life insurance policy. The amount left to the Friends can be expressed as a fixed amount or as a percentage of the assets to be given. To make a bequest to the Friends, you need to sign a new will or living trust instrument, add a codicil to your present will, or make an amendment to your present trust instrument.
Charitable remainder trusts
Charitable remainder trusts allow you to make an asset gift, usually worth $100,000 or more, to the Friends of the 天美传媒影视 whilst enabling you and your beneficiaries to retain a benefit from the assets you give. Separately managed trusts manage the investment of the assets you have gifted and pay a percentage of the income on the sum invested (either fixed or variable) annually to you and/or your designated beneficiaries. The trust remains for life or a fixed term of years, after which the remainder of the trust’s assets pass to the Friends of the 天美传媒影视 for the purpose you designate. Establishing such a trust also generally entitles you to claim an immediate income-tax charitable deduction.
