Beneficiary Designations

(Transfer on Death) beneficiary for a securities account. Family & Friends Connection, Inc, can also be named as beneficiary of an IRA or other retirement account. Since Family & Friends Connection, Inc, is tax-exempt, it will benefit from the full value of the retirement account, and will not have to pay income tax on funds withdrawn from the account.
Gifts of Life Insurance
It may be possible for you to leave a substantial gift to Family & Friends Connection, Inc, at your death through a gift of life insurance. If you transfer ownership of an insurance policy to Family & Friends Connection, Inc, you will be entitled to an immediate income tax deduction equal to the cash value of the policy.

Revocable Living Trust
A revocable living trust can accomplish your estate planning objectives in much the same way as a Will. But a properly funded trust accomplishes lifetime objectives as well. The trust can provide management of assets during your lifetime. This feature of a trust is especially beneficial if you ever become incompetent. There are many other good reasons for seeking professional management of assets during your lifetime. Assets held in trust are not subject to probate proceedings at death, resulting in the possibility of reduced administrative costs and the expedited transfer of assets to your heirs.
A Revocable Self-Declaration Trust allows the grantor to act as your own trustee. Under this option, you can manage your own assets as long as you are able and wish to do so. But the mechanism is in place for a successor trustee to take over management of your trust should that become necessary or desirable.
The Living Trust is an excellent tool to use in reaching your goals of Christian stewardship by naming Family & Friends Connection, Inc, as a charitable beneficiary. Family & Friends Connection, Inc, can also serve as trustee of your revocable living trust, or as successor trustee under a self-declaration trust.
Last Will and Testament
A Last Will and Testament can serve as the final declaration and testimony of a Christian’s faith. In many cases a Will serves as the primary estate-planning document. A properly prepared Will should contain provision for the disposition of your assets after death. But in a Will, you can provide for the needs of your spouse and other family members and assure that some of your resources will continue to support FFC's work after your passing.
