Individuals who inherit retirement plan assets are usually required to pay income tax on them, so they’re often considered among the best assets to leave to charity.
How to name Avodah as a beneficiary
If you own property that you would like to donate to Avodah through your will, the following language, which you should share with your attorney, can be used:
“I hereby gift and bequeath to Avodah, Federal Tax ID #13-3914342, all of that certain piece, parcel, or lot of land owned by me and situated in the town of ____ and more particularly described as follows: [full legal description of property]”
You can leave a legacy by naming Avodah as a Transfer-on-Death (TOD) or Payable-on-Death (POD) beneficiary on a bank or investment account, or a commercial annuity. Check with your financial institution to see if this option is available to you.
If you have already made a gift to Avodah in your will, trust, or beneficiary designation, please let us know. We would like to recognize your generosity by welcoming you as a new member of our Avodah Legacy Kehillah.
We will not publish your name if you would like to remain anonymous.
