Gifts of Real Estate
November 4, 2019 @ 11:30 am - 1:00 pm
Description
Real estate represents a significant portion of the country’s wealth. As such, it should be considered as an asset class for a potential charitable gift. Structured properly, a charitable gift of real estate can not only serve a donor’s philanthropic goals but also provide significant tax benefits and, under the right circumstances, increased cash flow. Let’s discuss the various ways to give real estate and explore the benefits and issues of each.
