Estate Planning

Some statistics suggest that 7 out of 10 American adults die without a will. When this happens, your property will be distributed as provided in the laws of your state, and the desires you had for your assets may not be fulfilled.

When you include a worthwhile charity in your will, your assets can benefit the lives of needy persons. If you include Royal Family Kids' Camps as part of your estate planning, you'll make it possible for many more abused and neglected kids to have positive memories and life-changing experiences, even after you're gone. Please consider these estate planning options:

• Christian Will
• Charitable Remainder Trust
• Charitable Gift Annuity

Christian Will

The Christian will is basic to a Christian estate plan — and it's the bare minimum you should have to be sure that your assets go to the individuals and organizations you select.

Under certain conditions, there may be a tax advantage for naming a charitable organization like Royal Family Kids' Camps in your will. However you choose to configure it, be sure that your current will provides for your family and the ministries you support, and as God leads you, consider other estate planning options as well.

Charitable Remainder Trust

Trusts aren't only for the wealthy — people of many different income brackets can benefit from trusts. Properly structured, a charitable remainder trust can provide:

• Income for you or a loved one for life, or for a designated period
• Significant tax savings
• A wonderful way to continue reaching out to needy boys and girls through Royal Family Kids' Camps.

With a charitable remainder trust, the assets can be managed in a manner consistent with your wishes; at the end of the specified life or predetermined time the charity receives the assets.

Charitable Gift Annuity

When you make a significant gift to Royal Family Kids' Camps, you can establish a Charitable Gift Annuity that will provide regular income for you — and benefit Royal Family Kids' Camps at the same time!

A Charitable Gift Annuity offers:

• Income for life for you and your spouse, often with tax advantages.
• Immediate tax deduction for part or all of the value of the gift.
• At your death, the annuity goes directly to Royal Family Kids' Camps.
