Bequests
The charitable bequest affords a way for an individual to express specific philanthropic wishes. In fact, the bequest is the most popular method for charitable support in America, making up more than 80 percent of planned gifts nationwide. This is not surprising, since a bequest offers the unique ability to retain control of your estate during your lifetime while also ensuring that your wishes will be carried out upon your death.
Through a bequest, you can reduce federal estate taxes and applicable state inheritance taxes, while also leaving a lasting legacy to the university. To carry out this type of gift transaction, you need to name SDSU as the beneficiary of your will or living trust. |
