WAYS TO LEAVE YOUR LEGACY
Bequests: A gift through your will or trust (an asset, dollar amount, percentage or remainder of your estate).
Life Insurance Policy: You may designate Casa as the beneficiary and/or owner of an existing policy.
Life Income Gift: Charitable Remainder Trusts and Charitable Gift Annuities offer an immediate income tax deduction and lifetime income payments.
Retirement Plans: Name Casa as the beneficiary of your IRA or other retirement assets. These are excellent assets to give to charity because they are fully taxable if left to heirs.
