Planned Giving
There are many estate planning and tax incentive charitable giving opportunities available to donors. If you are interested in pursing a planned giving opportunity with the Kennebunk Land Trust, please contact us.
Wills
The simplest, and most often utilized method of estate planning is a professionally crafted and individualized will that contains specific bequests to heirs and charities. Donors can establish gifts during their lifetimes, thereby personally enjoying and sharing the benefits of their gifts. The advantages to family members and charities of these during-the-lifetime gifts are plentiful.
Another excellent method of making a gift to a charity is called a life estate. Donors may simply deed over their residence or vacation home to a charity, but they retain the right to live there as long as they wish. The life estate is not counted as part of the estate for tax purposes, is not subject to probate court or executorship, and it can provide significant income tax savings.
