Gifts That Protect Your Assets

Increased income may not be your primary objective.  Instead, you may be wondering how you will deal with some highly appreciated property or a growing family business as your needs and lifestyle change.  Will taxes consume much of the value that you have worked so hard to grow? Will anything be left for you and your family?

We have several plans that help you keep control of your assets, or transfer them, at less cost to you and to make a gift at the same time. 

Here are some of the benefits you can take advantage of:

• You can donate your home, continue to live in it, and get a tax deduction.
• You can contribute rental property, continue to draw rents, and get a tax deduction.
• You can receive a sum of cash in return for your gift, and apply the cash towards any financial need.
• You can greatly reduce the estate and capital-gain tax cost of passing appreciating assets on to your children.

We can show you creative ways to use those assets to benefit the Dr. Gertrude A. Barber Foundation, while at the same time preserving the benefits of those assets for yourself and your family.
