We hope you will consider including a gift to Christian Healing Ministries in your will or living trust, called a charitable bequest. You can change your gift at any time and if your estate is subject to estate tax, your gift is entitled to an estate tax charitable deduction for the gift's full value.

Including a bequest of a percentage of your estate ensures that your gift will remain proportionate no matter how your estate's value fluctuates over the years. However, you can also include a charitable gift of a specific amount or a certain property.

To make a charitable bequest, you need a current will or revocable living trust. Just a few sentences in your will or trust are all that is needed. Possible bequest language for Christian Healing Ministries is: "I, [your name], of [your address], give, devise and bequeath to Christian Healing Ministries. Inc., [written amount or percentage of the estate or description of property] for its unrestricted use and purpose." After your lifetime, Christian Healing Ministries receives your gift.

Most retirement plans are income tax deferred, meaning that income tax is not paid until the funds are distributed to you in life, or upon your death. This taxation makes retirement assets among the most costly assets to distribute to loved ones.

Amounts withdrawn from your retirement accounts can be taxable to you and to your heirs. Giving in this way may result in no tax impact when you report the amount withdrawn with an offsetting charitable deduction. Naming a charity, such as Christian Healing Ministries, as the beneficiary of retirement assets upon death makes that charity eligible to receive the full amount and bypass any income taxes.

If you would like to name Christian Healing Ministries as beneficiary, simply contact the administrator of the IRA or retirement plan for a change of beneficiary form. Decide what percentage of the plan's value you would like us to receive and name us, along with the stated percentage, on the beneficiary form. Then return the form to the administrator of the plan.

If you would like to name Christian Healing Ministries as beneficiary, simply contact the administrator of the life insurance policy for its change of beneficiary form.

The Charitable Lead Trust is an excellent way to transfer property to family members down the line at a minimal cost. You will benefit from the tax savings by giving assets to a trust that pays Christian Healing Ministries an income for the number of years which you choose. The longer the length of time, the better the gift tax savings for you. When the term is up, the remaining trust assets go to you, your family, or other beneficiaries you select.

There are two basic types of charitable lead trusts: a grantor lead trust and a non-grantor or family lead trust.

In a grantor lead trust, you are considered the owner of the trust. You receive the remainder interest at the end of the trust's term. As the owner, you are taxed on all the income. You are entitled to claim a current federal income tax deduction for the present value of the income payments to charity. This type of trust works well if it is funded with municipal bonds.

A more popular option is the non-grantor or family lead trust. With this type of trust, your family members receive the remainder interest at the end of the trust's term. You do not qualify for an income tax deduction. However, you will receive a charitable gift tax deduction for the present value of the charity's interest. This is an excellent way to transfer property to family members down the line at a minimal tax cost. This type of charitable lead trust is especially appealing to Christian Healing Ministries supporters who have appreciating assets and are financially comfortable enough that they can forgo investment income on some assets.
