044: Charitable Bequests With Stephanie Hood

Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm delighted to have as my guest Stephanie Hood, my colleague here at Farella Braun + Martel, and a member of our top-notch estate planning practice. Our charity clients often come to us with a request to help a major donor think about a special gift to the charity, and sometimes we also get pulled in to help the charity when there are glitches in the trust or will after the donor has passed. And, of course, many of our philanthropic clients ask for help describing their charitable intent in their estate planning documents. In this episode, Stephanie and I will talk about planned charitable giving, including some tips and common pitfalls to watch out for.
