Planning for the Future
“Planning for the Future” is designed to encourage you to think about how you want your assets to be distributed at death and assist you in gathering the information your attorney will need to prepare a will or trust that accomplishes your goals.
Consider a will provision A will assures your wishes will be fulfilled and your legacy established. Through your will, you may designate charitable bequests to express your philanthropic wishes. A bequest may be earmarked in a number of forms including: • A specific dollar amount • A percentage of your estate • A specific asset (real estate property, stocks, life insurance, etc…) When making a bequest to the Cooperstown Medical Center Foundation, gifts may be designated to an area you desire or left unrestricted to fund facility needs.
Plan a meaningful gift There are other options to providing a future gift through a will or trust arrangement. You may consider a planned gift of a different sort - one that may provide you income during your lifetime or one as simple as making a designation to the CMC Foundation on a beneficiary form. Planned gifts established through the Cooperstown Medical Center Foundation provide various tax advantages, may increase your income or provide an efficient transfer of assets to family members. Though your gift to benefit CMC does not become available until sometime in the future, the benefits you enjoy today will be significant and will help you fulfill your financial and philanthropic goals to ultimately benefit the Cooperstown Medical Center.
Types of planned gifts: • Charitable Remainder Trust (Unitrust and Annuity Trust): This gift option offers potential for increased income for you as well as mitigation or elimination of estate tax and capital gains tax liability. An annuity trust provides a fixed income stream for the duration of the trust while a unitrust distribution will vary depending on investment performance, thereby providing a valuable hedge against inflation. • Gift Annuity: The CMC Foundation, in exchange for a gift of acceptable assets of at least $10,000, agrees to pay up to two beneficiaries income for life. When the gift annuity matures, the balance of the contract is used to support the Cooperstown Medical Center. • Charitable Lead Trust: The CMC Foundation receives income for a term of years from the trust, and upon maturity, the trust’s principal either reverts to the donor or is transferred to others, such as family members. • Life Estate: With an irrevocable transfer to the CMC Foundation of a personal residence or farm in which you retain full use, a life estate gift is created. You receive an immediate income tax deduction and retain all benefits of conventional ownership. A life estate may help you reduce the size of your taxable estate and current income tax liability while providing a significant gift to ultimately benefit the Cooperstown Medical Center.
