How do I include the Academy of the Sacred Heart in my Will?

A Will is perhaps the easiest and most effective means to ensure that you fully provide for your family and that your assets are distributed as you wish. Bequests both large and small have been important to the Academy since its founding, and a bequest through your Will also provides continuing support of the ongoing work of the Academy.

A gift to the Academy of the Sacred Heart through your Will has several advantages:

Charitable gifts made through your will are 100% deductible for estate tax purposes.
A charitable bequest may place your estate in a lower tax bracket.
You may specify that your bequest be used for general purposes of Sacred Heart or for a particular program or ministry.
When making a gift to Sacred Heart through your will, please consult your legal and tax advisors.

Through their philanthropic commitment and membership in the St. Philippine Duchesne Society, these generous donors are making a powerful statement about the Academy’s future.  谢谢你！!

 

Another option is to create a Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT) through your will. Your IRA assets will be transferred to a CRT, and there is no tax due because the CRT is a tax-exempt entity. The trust will provide life income to a beneficiary (for example, your children) with the trust eventually passing to the Academy of the Sacred Heart. Your estate will receive an estate tax deduction for the value of the Academy’s right to eventually receive the trust assets.  As with all planned gifts, please be sure to consult with your legal and tax advisors.

Many Sacred Heart friends today have large qualified retirement plans such as an IRA, 401(k), 或基奥计划. These plans have been growing tax-free for several years, but once the owner begins to receive payments, the distributions are taxed. The plans are also included in the owner’s taxable estate. Many friends of the Academy are now looking at these assets as a wonderful source of funds to make a gift.

Perhaps the most convenient way to make a gift is by simply changing the beneficiary designation to include the Academy of the Sacred Heart. The gift will benefit Sacred Heart free of probate.
