• You can include us as a beneficiary in your will. A bequest is easy to arrange and is not payable until you pass away, so it does not affect assets or cash flow during your lifetime. It is also private and revocable, since you can change provisions in the will or trust at any time, and it is not made public until death.
• Your can make a gift from your life insurance or retirement plan. Through a beneficiary designation form, you can make Third Act a full or partial beneficiary. Your estate may benefit from a tax deduction for the value of the proceeds from the policy. This can leave more behind for the loved ones you’ve named in your will. You can also sign over a fully-paid life insurance policy and receive a tax deduction now for that gift.

If you have questions about  planning to make Third Act a beneficiary in your will or estate plans, please email pam@thirdact.org. We’d love to honor you by including your name among those in our Legacy Circle but do let us know if you’d prefer to keep your name anonymous. Your lawyer will need Third Act’s mailing address: Third Act Initiative, PO Box 445, Nassau, NY 12123
