Finding Your Roots:

Many people, especially young individuals and those who feel their estate is too small, believe that a will represents an unnecessary expense. But you need a plan for the future, and the preparation of a will doesn’t need to be expensive. Even if you don’t own a lot of property, you need a will to make other important decisions, including: • Naming an executor. • Naming a legal guardian for minors. • Making gifts or transfers. • Reducing estate tax liability. In the absence of a will, the state will resort to a formula. A judge will name an executor, a bond may have to be posted, the court will name a guardian and a formula will determine asset distribution. Charitable Bequest A charitable bequest is one of the best ways for you to express your specific philanthropic goals. In fact, the bequest is the most frequently used method to support charity in America. Options for your bequest to charity include: • A specific dollar amount. • A percentage of the estate. • Specific assets. Your gift is important to us! While many may think philanthropy is reserved for a select few, the truth is that every bequest to the Iowa PBS Foundation helps us continue our work. If you would like more information on wills, please contact Shellee Bailey at 515.725.9808 or shellee@iowapbs.org.
