What is a legacy gift?

A legacy gift is a donation you arrange now for 84000 to receive in the future, usually through a will, trust, retirement account, life insurance policy, or another beneficiary designation. It is also called a planned gift or bequest.

Nothing to give today

Your assets remain available to you throughout your lifetime.

Every gift matters

A specific amount, percentage, or remainder can make a difference.
- Choose what fits you

Two simple ways to leave a future gift

Both options let you care for the people closest to you first while extending your support for 84000 into the future.
1.

Include 84000 in your will or trust

Leave a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or part of what remains after gifts to loved ones have been made.

  1. Choose an amount, percentage, or share of the remainder.
  2. Share your wishes with your family or others close to you.
  3. Ask your attorney or estate-planning professional to add the gift.
  4. Give your adviser 84000’s information and sample wording.

‍

2.

Name 84000 as a beneficiary

You may be able to name 84000 on a retirement account, life insurance policy, bank account, or other eligible asset—usually without changing your will.

  1. Request a beneficiary form from the company managing the account or policy.
  2. Name 84000 and choose the percentage you would like it to receive.
  3. Submit the form and keep a copy with your estate documents.
  4. Review your choices after major life changes.
