Establishing A Trust
To benefit Stonehill after your death through the establishment of a trust, please consider one of the following options:
Testamentary Charitable Remainder Trust
At the time of your death, a Charitable Remainder Trust can provide a lifetime income stream to a family member or friend, reduce your estate taxes, and provide for the principal of the trust to ultimately benefit Stonehill for a charitable purpose that you designate. To find out more about a Charitable Remainder Unitrust or a Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust.
Testamentary Charitable Lead Trust
At the time of your death, a Charitable Lead Trust can delay the passage of assets to family members until they are older and provide current income to Stonehill.
Revocable Living Trust
A living trust is a document with which you direct the transfer of your assets at the time your death. A living trust can help assets pass outside of the probate process, can continue after your passing, and, as the name suggests, is revocable at any time. Your attorney or financial advisor can discuss if this instrument may work for your individual situation. Reference the Gifts by Will page for sample language.
