With recent changes to the tax code, now is the perfect time to review your plan to ensure it achieves your goals to provide for family and to support your favorite charities.
With Charitable Planning

- Your charitable legacy ends when you pass away; your family receives less and may have to pay more in taxes.
- Your estate may pay a tax of up to 40%.
