Implementing Your Estate Giving Plan
Some charitable estate gifts can be made by updating beneficiary designations on retirement accounts, life insurance policies, or payable-on-death accounts — often using a simple form from your financial institution. Other approaches, such as creating or revising a will, trust, or other legal document, require properly executed legal instruments. Many individuals choose to consult an attorney when preparing or updating these documents.
