BEQUESTS THROUGH YOUR WILL OR TRUST

GIFTS OF RETIREMENT-PLAN BENEFITS
Retirement-plan benefits left to children, grandchildren, and other beneficiaries are subject to both income tax and estate tax. Donating retirement benefits will allow you to make a significant gift and use 100% of your money for the benefit of outh Milwaukee Performing Arts Center.

GIFTS OF LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES
By designating a charity as the beneficiary, some donors give life insurance as a gift when they find that they no longer need the coverage. Life insurance gifts enable donors to make a much larger gift than they thought possible, and in most cases a gift of insurance does not significantly reduce their current stream of income.

These are just a few of the options for making a planned gift. Your lawyer or tax advisor can assist you in deciding which giving option is the most appropriate for your circumstances and wishes.
