Give a Gift of Appreciated Securities

Gifts of appreciated securities often provide more advantages to the contributor than outright cash gifts. Appreciated stocks or bonds entitle a contributor to two benefits: There is no capital gains tax, and the contributor may use the securities' fair market value on the date of the gift to compute the income tax charitable deduction. Contributors who give appreciated property, such as stocks and bonds, may claim a resulting charitable deduction of up to 30 percent of their adjusted gross income in the gift year, with carry-over of any excess deduction for up to five succeeding tax years.

Make a Bequest

Seven out of ten persons do not have a valid will. Many have postponed what appears to be an unpleasant task. Others erroneously assume their assets are not large enough to justify a will. Having a will as part of your estate plan provides many benefits:

• You can distribute your property as you wish. If you have no will, your property will be distributed according to the laws of the state where you live. These laws are inflexible and may not take care of the people and institutions you wish to remember. The only way to ensure your wishes are followed is to have a carefully drawn will.
  
• You have flexibility in carrying out your wishes. You may have a personal treasure that you'd like someone to receive. Only a will can make that wish a certainty. A will permits the use of trusts to aid in the financial affairs of your survivors. It also permits you to select the individual who is to administer your estate. The court appoints an administrator for those who die intestate (without a will). In your will you may grant broader powers of administration to your executor than a court-appointed administrator would have.
  
• You can carry out your wishes most economically. For example, in your will you may direct your executor to serve without bond. Without a will a financial bond is required before a court-appointed administrator can serve, the cost of which comes out of your estate.
  
• You can provide for your children. In your will you may nominate a guardian for your children who are minors. Without a will, the court makes this appointment. In a will you also can create a trust for your children, giving the trustee you name broad powers to manage the assets of the trust for your children until they reach an age you select, at which time the property may be turned over to them.

Who prepares a will? Your lawyer should prepare your will. It is a legal instrument custom-made for your situation, and it is inadvisable for you to complete a blank will form or to draw your own will. A lawyer will help assure that your will is properly drawn, signed and witnessed.
