Bequests
A bequest is a wonderful way to support Parenting Journey posthumously.
How It Works
- Include a bequest to Parenting Journey in your will or trust.
- Indicate a specific amount or a percentage of the balance remaining in your estate or trust.
Benefits
- Your assets remain in your control during your lifetime.
- You can modify your bequest to address changing circumstances.
Planned Giving
Many gift plans can provide significant tax and financial advantages to you and your loved ones.
How It Works
- Name Parenting Journey as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), or other qualified plan.
- Designate Parenting Journey to receive all or a portion of the balance through your plan administrator.
- The balance in your plan passes to Parenting Journey after your death.
Benefits
- Avoid the double taxation your retirement savings would incur if you designated your heir(s) as beneficiary(ies).
- Continue to take regular lifetime withdrawals.
- You can revoke us as a beneficiary if your needs change.
Please consult your legal representative or financial consultant to determine the implications of your prospective gift.
