Welcome to this first segment of what we are referring to as “Legacy Moments”. Through written articles and video streams, these times of communication and information are an effort to “meet you where you are” in your life stage and unique circumstances.

Helpful information will be provided to assist you in framing in your unique life story, for its inclusion into your estate and legacy planning, and for others to be inspired by! You will also become armed with the most up to date information you need to assure your estate plan leaves nothing to chance.

Bottom line, while we, who know Christ as Savior, have been assured that the “grave holds no victory nor death have any sting”, we nonetheless do well to prepare for the “unforeseen and unavoidable” in all of our lives.

We trust these times of reflection will be found both helpful, and instructive. As a support ministry of LeTourneau University (now celebrating our first anniversary of full autonomy and strategic self-support), we also trust the information we can share about how giving can be integrated into your planning will be found helpful. Tools and information will be made available that will illustrate and empower you to set upon giving designs from within your plan structure, that can save, if not eliminate, certain taxes while at the same achieving essential income for retirement and contingencies.

So let’s launch into these coming times together, shall we? May we be found faithful to all He has set before us to do—for His glory and the advancement of His purposes!

The “Great Wealth Transfer”, and the need for discernment and intentionality as maybe never before!

Over the past few years now, much has been said about the gradual but clearly discernable shift, both in wealth and mindset, from the Baby Boomers (1946-1964) to those who will succeed them, the Millennials (1981-1996).

The value of Charitable Remainder Unitrusts in a high inflation, down-market environment:

In the face of declining stock portfolios and rising inflation, the need for cash to meet rising costs is also on the rise. A Charitable Remainder Unitrust (or “CRUT”) can help you maintain or increase your income and save taxes.

Charitable Remainder Unitrusts

A CRT offers you many advantages not available with other popular giving designs, including:

1—favorable tax treatment
2—income
3—the ability to give from your income
4—control over your final charitable distribution.
