Should we include charitable giving in our legacy plan?

Yes, if your family mission statement or wealth vision involves philanthropy. We’ve found that most families do prioritize charitable giving, as it fosters shared family values while providing tax benefits.

Tools like donor-advised funds, charitable trusts, and private foundations allow you to align your philanthropy with your values while creating lasting impact. These strategies also offer significant tax advantages, helping to reduce estate taxes and maximize the assets passed to heirs.
