Insurance and Real Estate Gifts

If you have substantial net worth and are interested in the following you may wish to consider a Charitable Lead Trust:

  • Make regular gifts to Bideawee
  • Provide for your heirs
  • Engage in proactive financial planning
  • Minimize estate transfer taxes

Life Insurance Gifts
Louie If you no longer need life insurance, consider donating the policy to Bideawee. This will give you a charitable tax deduction for the approximate cash surrender value of the policy and help you to further our mission to help animals.

You can also use a life insurance policy to create a legacy for Bideawee as beneficiary or contingent beneficiary. To change this, you would need to complete a change of beneficiary form with your life insurance company.

Real Estate Gifts
Herbert Real estate that you own may have appreciated so significantly in value that its sale would create a substantial tax burden. By making a gift of real estate to Bideawee, you may be able to avoid capital gains taxes and receive a charitable tax deduction for the full fair market value of the property. It is also possible to make a gift of your primary residence or second home while retaining an exclusive life estate so that you can continue to use the home for the rest of your life while obtaining great tax and estate planning benefits. Bideawee reserves the right to evaluate each real estate gift before acceptance.
