Charitable Planning

People have many different reasons for wanting to give to others, but most people are unaware of how to effectively give so as to reduce tax consequences and the possibility of other unforeseen results that proper charitable planning would eliminate. At Ogden Law Firm, PC, we encourage clients to include charitable planning in their estate plans so as to maximize the person’s sense of happiness and to use the beneficial tax laws in our client’s favor.

Ogden Law Firm, PC believes passionately in the blessings of giving and the wisdom of using all of the tools and techniques of charitable giving to maximize your gifts, both for yourself and your intended recipient. Charitable gifts may be given to various different entities or persons. This includes gifts to non-profit, educational, religious and charitable institutions and other causes as defined and permitted in the Internal Revenue Code. However, to maximize tax benefits to both the donor and the donee, charitable gift planning techniques should be considered.

Some of the charitable gift techniques involve or include the following:

  • Outright Gifts
  • Charitable Remainder Trusts
  • Charitable Lead Trusts
  • Private Foundations
  • Donor Advised Funds

It has been said that it is more blessed to given than to receive, and that altruism, or giving for the benefit of those less privileged than you, is a marker of the ultimate actualization and happiness of human beings. Regardless of whether you feel emotionally moved by someone’s life story, or you feel a sense of close association to a particular charity, organization, or other qualified group, Ogden Law Firm, PC will assist you in your charitable planning goals. Contact us and we would be glad to speak with you.

Client Reviews

Attorney Daniel Ogden and his staff were such a help during my estate/will planning. I contacted a couple of attorneys and simply did not feel comfortable using them. Not so with Mr. Ogden. He was thorough and knowledgeable, making us feel very comfortable and secure in the decisions we made...

If there was ever an attorney or legal office to trust, this is it! Dont bother going around town and getting the runaround from other people who will only partially represent you or overcharge for partial services. Daniel Ogden and his amazing staff are BY FAR the most competent and friendliest...

Jeremy E.

Daniel Ogden is a first class professional who listens acutely and makes great recommendations. Updating our estate documents was executed with skill and expediency. He is a credit to our community and to his profession.
