Bequests
The most common planned gifts are bequests, effected through a provision in the will or a codicil to the will, making Atlanta Legal Aid Society the beneficiary of a specific, general, residuary or contingent gift from the estate. The donor may wish to assign a percentage of a qualified retirement plan in the estate to Atlanta Legal Aid, which is done through notification to the plan administrator.
IRA Rollover
Under a provision familiarly known as the IRA Rollover, donors age 70 1/2 and above may make outright gifts up to $108,000 during a calendar year to eligible charitable organizations directly from retirement plans without incurring income tax liability. Donors should contact their advisors and notify their plan administrator.
