Gifts That Protect Assets

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

New! Limited Time Gift Opportunities Due to Low IRS Discount Rate

We have several options that help you meet your personal goals, save on taxes, and make a gift to the American Cancer Society at the same time.

The Benefits

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

  • You can contribute your personal residence or farm, take a significant income tax deduction, and continue to live there for life.
  • You can sell us your home, farm or other asset for less than its full value and then take an income tax deduction for the difference. It is also possible to receive some payments for life.
  • You can receive a sum of cash in return for your gift, and apply the cash toward any financial need.
  • You can greatly reduce the estate tax cost of passing appreciating assets on to your children.
