Retirement Plan Gifts
Did you know that the IRS considers the balance left in your plan to be untaxed income? Therefore, any beneficiary (other than a spouse) could face income taxes in addition to estate taxes on your retirement account balance. You may lose up to 70% to taxes before your child, relative or heir receives it! If you name Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital as the beneficiary of your retirement plan, 100% of your retirement assets can help support children’s health.
Life Insurance Gifts
You may make Packard Children’s the beneficiary of a life insurance policy and your estate will receive a charitable deduction from estate taxes for that gift. Give us a paid up policy you may no longer need.
