Bequest of Insurance
"We regularly attended events at Florida Southern College since we lived nearby, and we wanted to know if there was any benefit to giving our policy away to this wonderful institution. Wayne wanted to ensure that our family wouldn't need the extra help down the road if we decided to help out FSC.
We met with the advancement staff at Florida Southern and learned that we could include a bequest of insurance today that would help us achieve both our personal and charitable goals.
The bequest could simply be made by naming FSC as beneficiary of our policy. With the beneficiary designation unchanged during life, the insurance proceeds would go to assist Florida Southern's mission. In addition, our estate could benefit from an estate tax charitable deduction based on the value of the proceeds paid.
The insurance bequest made the most sense to us, and Wayne liked the fact that our estate would benefit from tax savings, which would help to preserve other assets intended for our family." -Marla
