By including Winnebago County CASA in your estate plans, you can create a lasting impact that transcends generations. Your legacy offers enduring advocacy and hope to children who have experienced abuse and/or neglect and are in the juvenile justice system.
There are meaningful ways to make a planned gift, such as a bequest in a will or trust, beneficiary designation of a retirement plan, IRA, life insurance policy, or account, and other thoughtful giving options.
Leaving a legacy gift to support children in need is simple. You can easily include a bequest in your will or designate Winnebago County CASA as a beneficiary, ensuring that your generosity continues to make a difference. Additionally, you can explore tax-wise gift arrangements that provide lifetime income for you and your loved ones or pass on assets to heirs with reduced tax implications.
To help you, here are sample bequest language for a will, codicil, or revocable living trust:
