Retirement Plans + Life Insurance Gifts

Giving from your retirement plan – A retirement plan can be a tax-efficient and simple way to include Seabury Resources for Aging in your estate plan. The best method is to name Seabury as a primary or secondary beneficiary. Most retirement plans are subject to incomes taxes – and possibly estate taxes – however, when a charity is named as a beneficiary, your estate may receive a tax deduction.

Life insurance – You can make Seabury Resources for Aging the beneficiary of your life insurance policy, and your estate may receive a tax break for that gift.
