Are you considering making a gift to a nonprofit as part of your Estate Planning?

In deciding which beneficiary receives which assets, gifting an IRA account to a nonprofit organization might be a wise choice.

The nonprofit won't have to pay income taxes on the IRA or its dstributions (so long as the money is used for charitable purposes) while an individual would.

Most charitable gifts are made in cash. Another option might be donating appreciated personal property (such as a classi...

Most charitable gifts are made in cash. Another option might be donating appreciated personal property (such as a classic car) with the written agreement for the non-profit to sell the gift and use the money received for its charitable purposes.

In this scenario, the donor avoids capital gains taxes on the asset's appreciation, and the non profit generally doesn't pay income taxes on the money from the sale of the personal property

Joe Thacker talked with fellow members of Cabarrus Business Network Group about Fidelity Bank Plc and his role working with business owners to plan for and execute their access to credit and lending. Appreciate his insight!

This kind of planning is something which Jeremy Canipe and The Canipe Law Firm, PLLC recommend that our business clients consider in advance.

For our clients who provide financial support and personal, unpaid care for family members and other loved ones, they face a daunting challenge.

Public support is minimal even if available. Money isn't unlimited. Taking care of people's physical needs is exhausting over time.

Realistic and compassionate answers may not be perfect, but facing the challenges is important. This morning's program at Heckerling Institute on Estate Planning provided thoughtful suggestions that Jeremy Canipe will be putting into practice when helping clients with these challenging decisions.

The Canipe Law Firm, PLLC helps our clients create Estate Plans based on their current circumstances and with an eye towards the future. Yet, no one can actually see around the corner and be sure of what the future holds.

The person or the people who create a Revocable Trust can modify or even replace that planning document.

That's not so easy with an Irrevocable Trust.

Clients may decide they want to allow for future changes or there may come a time when unexpected situations make changes to an Irrevocable Trust our client's goal.

This afternoon, the Heckerling Institute on Estate Planning included useful information and advice on this sensitive topic.

Jeremy Canipe regularly counsels clients on options when an Irrevocable Trust needs to be changed and speaks to Trust companies and investment advisors about modifying, reforming, and decanting from Irrevocable Trusts.

Trusts are a superb method of estate planning. When family members live in different states, you are faced with significant questions about which state's law applies.

The current rule under The North Carolina Trust Code is that the state where the trustee (who manages the trust) applies.

What happens if the trustee lives or moves elsewhere? Or, if the backup trustee lives in a different state?

These are only a few of the many complex personal concerns which impact our clients' decisions.

Working with an attorney who focuses on estate planning, including trusts is an important benefit for clients of The Canipe Law Firm, PLLC.
