LACGP WEBINAR:
How to Effectively Manage Bequests and Honor Your Donor's Intent

June 29, 2023 | 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM (PDT)

For decades, many charities viewed bequests as a form of passive income. They followed an adage when it came to gifts made by will or trust, “Just wait for the check.” More recently, donors and leaders of charities have become more sophisticated. Donors expect organizations to take all necessary steps to see their full gift through to delivery. Charities have realized this final act of stewardship is not only their obligation to the donor, but also a duty to their charity and a smart business practice. This presentation will cover seven standards every bequest administrator should know to be an effective steward. We will also cover frequently asked questions such as, is it safe to sign that release? Is the trustee or attorney fee too high? Do we need to hire outside counsel for this will contest? And more!

Session outcomes:

1) Attendees will walk away with red flags to look out for when dealing with potential capacity or undue influence issues in the gift instrument.

2) Attendees will learn tips and tricks to modify receipts, releases, and waivers to avoid any dangerous risks for their organization. 

3) Attendees will learn best practices for contacting attorneys, executors, trustees, and financial institutions in inquiring about bequests intended for their organization. 

Members: FREE | Non-Members: $15
