Got wills?
• 60% of American adults have wills
–This means 4 out of 10 don’t
–What about wills that aren’t up to date?
–Only 8% of those with wills included a charity in it
With A Current Will …
• YOU specify distributions to anyone
• YOU nominate guardians and personal
representatives
• YOU can create trusts
• YOU can give to any charities you want
Without A Current Will …
• May be COSTLY • STATE picks beneficiaries• COURT picks administrator/personal
representative• COURT determines special needs• NO distributions to charity• NO tax savings strategies employed
Estate Tax Simplified• If you had a partnership with a neighbor –
who did nothing to help you or add value – would you keep putting all your assets and best ideas into the partnership?
– NO!! You’d stay up all night trying to figure out how to keep more for yourself
– That’s estate planning

Ways to give that benefit you, your family and Your Council/BSA…
• With planned gifts, you create win-win-win solutions for you, your heirs and your council.– You can make a gift that costs nothing during your lifetime.– You can give stock and realize larger tax savings.– You can get a regular paycheck for life in return for your gift.– You can donate your house, continue to live there, and get a
tax break all at the same time.– You can use annuity or trust distributions to purchase
wealth-replacement insurance for your children/heirs.

Designating Your Council/BSA as beneficiary of your Retirement Plan: 401(k) or IRA
• Bypass probate
• $0.00 cost to you, today
• Qualifies you for membership in Heritage
Society
• Provide for the future of local Scouting
Stock Gifts
• Still an excellent way to make gifts
• Giving appreciated stocks to charity (instead of selling) avoids CG taxes
• Stock owned for more than 12 months – fair market value deduction
Stock Gifts
Example: Donor considers a gift of $100,000. Should he make his gift with:
a) stock (with a $10,000 basis);b) the sales proceeds from the stock;c) or a personal check?
GIFTS OF STOCKS
1. PERSONAL CHECK• Tax Owed By Donor 0 (but after-tax dollars!)• Tax Deduction/Gift $100,000• Capital Gains Tax Avoided 0
2. STOCK SOLD, PROCEEDS DONATED• Tax Owed By Donor $13,500• Tax Deduction/Gift $86,500• Capital Gains Tax Avoided 0
3. STOCK GIVEN TO COUNCIL• Tax Owed by Donor 0• Tax Deduction/Gift $100,000• Capital Gains Tax 0
Real Estate Gifts
• Also an excellent way to make gifts
• Same tax benefits to donor as for stock gifts
• Gifts of mortgaged property not good for anyone (unless very small)
IRAs – What to Do?
• IRA’s are Retirement Plans – not Inheritance Plans
• Can be hit with Income Taxes and Estate Taxes
• Often the worst thing you can leave your heirs
Who Gets Which Asset?
Jane has a large, taxable estate. It includes a block of stocks worth $500,000 and an IRA worth $500,000. She wants one to go to her children, the other one to your council.
• Who should get the stocks?
• Who should get the IRA?
IRA To Children -- Bad
• IRA to kids could be double taxed• IRA to council saves taxes (council is tax exempt)
Stocks $500,000
IRA $500,000
Children $500,000
JVC/BSA $500,000

A Shift in Estate Planning Philosophy
Conventional Estate Planning– Keep as much as you can– Pass to heirs as much as possible
Estate Planning for the Modern Philanthropist• Keep as much as you need• Pass to heirs what you deem appropriate• Control distribution of what you can’t keep
The Modern Philanthropist Philosophy
“I want my children to have enough to do anything, but not enough to do nothing.”

generally deadens the talents and energies of the son,
and tempts him to lead a less useful
and less worthy life than he otherwise would.”
