Testamentary Life Income Gift
How It Works
- You write a will or revocable trust directing a bequest to Yale.
- You provide that the bequest first create a life income gift benefiting your designated recipients.
- After their income interest terminates, the remaining balance in the gift passes to Yale to be applied to the purposes you specify.
Benefits
- One estate asset can benefit both Yale and your heirs or other desired beneficiaries.
- Your estate will be eligible to claim a charitable deduction for a portion of the amount of your bequest.
- You can modify your bequest if your circumstances change.
