Planned Gifts - Wills and Trusts
Wills and Trusts for the Woodland Opera House
By leaving money or other assets to the Woodland Opera House in your will or trust, you can reduce your possible estate tax, so the cost to your family members can be significantly less than the face value of the gift. And bequests are fully revocable, so you can change your mind if your circumstances change.
Talk to your professional advisor: in one sentence, you can make great live performance a part of your legacy.
Sample Language for Your Will
See below for sample language for a specific dollar amount, a percentage or your estate, or the remainder after all other provisions have been made.
For a fixed amount of money or a designated property:
"I give, devise and bequeath to the Woodland Opera House, Tax ID No. 94-2751127, located in Woodland, California,
Choose one:
the sum of $_____."
_____ shares of stock in __________ company."
_____% of my real property, commonly known as __________, located in __________."
For a percentage of your estate:
"I give, devise and bequeath to the Woodland Opera House, Tax ID No. 94-2751127, located in Woodland, California, _____% of my estate."
For a residual bequest:
"I give, devise and bequeath to the Woodland Opera House, Tax ID No. 94-2751127, located in Woodland, California, _____% of the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, including real and personal property."
Beneficiary Designations
For a gift that is simple, flexible, and tax-efficient, consider making the Woodland Opera House a beneficiary of all or part of the proceeds from your IRA, Keogh, 401(k), 403(b), insurance policy, or donor-advised fund.
IRAs, Keoghs, 401(k)s and 403(b)s are usually funded with untaxed dollars, so they are subject to income and estate tax. This double tax may leave heirs with as little as 30% of the plan's value. Heirs also may be subject estate tax on distributions from donor-advised funds and insurance policies. The Woodland Opera House will receive the entire amount you designate from any of these funds or plans tax-free.
To name the Woodland Opera House as a beneficiary, simply ask your fund or plan administrator for a change-of-beneficiary form (or download it from their website), make your changes, and return the form to establish your gift. And please don't forget to tell us about it!
