Leave a Legacy of Land Preservation
Although often overlooked, a giving option that you may want to consider is a legacy gift. Most legacy gifts offer tax benefits, have little or no current financial impact on you, and may result in the largest and most lasting one-time gift you ever make to the Land Trust. You can create a legacy of land preservation through a bequest or will, a life income gift (such as a charitable gift annuity, or a charitable remainder trust), or a gift of special assets (such as real estate, stock, life insurance, retirement accounts).
Here are some options to consider…
- Transfer your mandatory IRA Distribution directly to the Land Trust of North Alabama.
- Designate the Land Trust as a beneficiary in your will to receive a portion of your assets upon your death. If you do not have an up-to-date plan in place, you can create your legal will using a free online tool like FreeWill.
- Add the Land Trust as a primary or contingent beneficiary to your life insurance policy.
- Name the Land Trust of North Alabama as a primary or contingent beneficiary of your trust.
- Preserve YOUR land and ensure it’s protected for future generations to enjoy.
