Planning for Charitable Giving

Many of our clients wish to incorporate lifetime or testamentary charitable giving in their estate plans. At Sosin, Arnold & Schoenbeck Ltd., we regularly advise our clients with regard to the various trusts, private organizations, and other means by which they can make those gifts. Charitable donations can provide donors with significant income tax or estate and gift tax deductions. Many of the methods of giving permit donors to retain varying degrees of control over how the money they donate is allocated among charities. Still, others permit donors to stretch out the tax benefits of the donations they make over a period of time. At Sosin, Arnold & Schoenbeck Ltd., we can assist you with evaluating the various charitable giving strategies available to you and with selecting and crafting the strategy that best satisfies your unique goals and expectations.
