Creative Charitable Planning with Non-Cash Assets: A Case Study Approach
Wednesday, November 6, 2019, 4:00 - 5:30pm
Coastal Georgia Historical Society's A.W. Jones Heritage Center
CE credits available
How would you help a client who wants to donate farmland, mineral rights or a vacation home to charity? Non-cash assets such as real estate, closely held stock, and collectibles are estimated to be a $40-$60 trillion market; yet non-cash assets represent less than 2% of all charitable gifts.
Having a thorough understanding of charitable planning techniques is critical when assisting affluent donors/clients with charitable giving and tax planning. Bryan Clontz will cover how to maximize your clients’ deductions through untapped assets such as real estate, privately held C corporations, S corporations, LLCs, limited partnerships and other unique assets. This highly interactive session will employ case studies to illuminate key points.
Light refreshments will be provided. Sponsored by SunTrust. To register, please email rsvp@coastalgeorgiafoundation.org.
