2 ACC NEWS WINTER 2013 What is Planned Giving? by Esther Aw, Financial Advisor

Planned giving, sometimes referred to as gift planning, is defined as a method of supporting non-profits and charities that enables philanthropic individuals or donors to make larger gifts than they could make from their income. While some planned gifts provide a life-long income to the donor, others use estate and tax planning techniques to provide for charity and other heirs in ways that maximize the gift and/or minimize its impact on the donor’s estate. Thus, by definition, a planned gift is any major gift, made prior to or at death as part of a donor’s overall financial and/or estate planning. By contrast, gifts to the annual fund or for membership dues are made from a donor’s discretionary income, and while they may be budgeted for, they are not defined as a “planned gift.” Whether a donor uses cash, appreciated securities/stock, real estate, artwork, partnership interests, personal property, life insurance, a retirement plan, etc., the benefits of funding a planned gift can make this type of charitable giving very attractive to both donor and charity. What are the 3 types of planned gifts? • First, outright gifts that use appreciated assets as a substitute for cash; • Second, gifts that return income or other financial benefits to the donor in return for the contribution; • Third, gifts payable upon the donor’s death. What gift plans return income to donors? Charitable gift annuities make fixed payments, starting either when the gift is made (an immediate-payment gift annuity) or at a later date (a deferred or flexible gift annuity). Some organizations maintain pooled income funds, which commingle donations, pay beneficiaries variable depending on the earnings of the fund, and generally operate like a charitable mutual fund. Charitable remainder unitrusts and annuity trusts are individually managed trusts that pay the beneficiaries either a fixed percentage of trust income or a fixed dollar amount. What are the tax benefits of planned gifts? • Donors can contribute appreciated property, like securities or real estate, receive a charitable deduction for the full market value of the asset, and pay no capital gains tax on the transfer. • Donors who establish a life-income gift receive a tax deduction for the full, fair market value of the assets contributed, minus the present value of the income interest retained; if they fund their gift with appreciated property they pay no upfront capital gains tax on the transfer. • Gifts payable to charity upon the donor’s death, like a bequest or a beneficiary designation in a life insurance policy or retirement account, do not generate a lifetime income tax deduction for the donor, but they are exempt from estate tax. 

Deadline for Estate Planning Opportunity by Esther Aw, Financial Advisor We are at the threshold of major estate tax changes that under current law will occur on January 2, 2013. This creates opportunities for planning now. The current estate and gift tax laws are due to “sunset” (expire) on December 31, 2012, creating opportunities for those who are willing to take advantage of strategies by the end of the year. The bad news is estate and gift tax rates are going up, while the amounts protected (exempt) from these taxes are going down. Current 2012 Sunset 2013 Estate Tax Exemption/Rate $5.12M/35% $1M/55% Gift Tax Exemption/Rate $5.12M/35% $1M/55% GST Exemption/Rate $5.12M/35% $1.4M/55% The good news is that there are several strategies available to help offset this tax increase, but they must be completed by December 31, 2012. Summary of changes coming on January 1, 2013: - The ability to make lifetime gifts totaling $5.12 million expires and it reduces to $1 million; - The amount of wealth exempt from estate taxation at death is reduced from it’s current level of $5.12 million to the $1 million level. - Estate tax rates on excess amounts increase from its current level of 35% to as much as 55%. What can be done? Assets can be shifted outside of your estate, while maintaining a level of access, if certain techniques are implemented. What is significant for the balance of 2012 is that a lifetime total of $5.12 million can be gifted, which will decrease to $1 million in 2013. Strategies can be implemented to reduce the amount of wealth going to the IRS, while increasing the amount going to your heirs. Regardless of whether your estate is $5 or $10 million, there is still an opportunity to maximize and take advantage of these exemptions to leave a larger legacy not only to your heirs, but also to your favorite non profit organizations that help out your community.  WINTER 2013 ACC NEWS 3 Letter From the ACC Nursing Home Administrator STAFF DIRECTORY
