Tip of the Day

Same gift, better deduction

We've told you that a donation using appreciated securities produces a charitable deduction in the amount of the full, fair market value of the stock, with no liability for capital gains — a great tax benefit!

Retained Life Estates

CLICK HERE FOR A DETAILED EXPLANATION

How it works

  You transfer your residence, farm, or vacation home to KCET subject to a life estate.

  You continue to live in the property for life or a specified term of years, while continuing to be responsible for all taxes and upkeep.

  The property passes to KCET when your life estate ends.

Benefits

  • You receive gift credit and an immediate income tax deduction for a portion of the appraised value of your property.
  • You can terminate your life estate at any time and take an additional income tax deduction.
  • You have the satisfaction of making a significant gift now that benefits KCET later.
