Throughout their lifetimes, many people make the decision to donate to certain organizations in their area. But not everyone has the resources to do it. This is why they might want to make a contribution after they pass away. Although it might sound strange, this can be done with charitable planning.

What is Charitable Planning?
There are numerous ways to start charitable planning. This can be done by naming beneficiaries in an estate plan, making lifetime donations, leaving bequests in wills or trusts, or even making gifts throughout one's lifetime to a trust. Retirement plans or life insurance policies may also be utilized to support charitable donations. They can be used as instruments to leave a bequest or lifelong donation to a charity or non-profit organization. People frequently decide to donate their entire insurance policy or a portion of the payout after their passing. Through the use of a "beneficiary designation," this is possible.
The usage of trusts can be used in the process of charitable planning as well. There are two main types of charitable trusts that can be created in New York State—charitable leads trusts and charitable remainder trusts.
Regardless of which charitable plan you use, it is imperative that a person be informed of any applicable tax requirements. For instance, gifts made from retirement accounts are exempt from income tax for qualifying charities. This is the reason why these assets are more valuable to charities than other estate-related assets. To assist you in making wise decisions during this process, it is crucial to have an estate planning lawyer at your side.
