Estate Planning for Your Clients

Bequests: Name Your Client’s Fund as a Beneficiary

If you have a client who wants to name their fund at Greater Horizons as a beneficiary of their will or trust, life insurance policy or retirement plan account, the following may be helpful in completing their estate planning documents or beneficiary designation forms.

After describing what your client is leaving to the fund (i.e., a percentage of the estate/trust/account or a specific dollar amount), simply say it will pass “to Greater Horizons for the following component fund: [name of your client’s fund].”

Our staff will be happy to work with you and your client to establish a fund during your client’s lifetime to receive assets at their death. By working together ahead of time, we can ensure your client’s fund will carry out their charitable goals beyond their lifetime.

As a reminder, Greater Horizons is a 501(c)(3) public charity. Our tax identification number (EIN) is 20-0849590.
