Gift Planning
The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod • Mission Advancement
Gift planning benefits are numerous. This is done in joyful response to what the Lord has done for you. Also, it allows you to make the very best gifts to family and ministry.
You can rest assured knowing that your wishes will be honored and that your earthly assets will be passed on in a way that makes sense and is helpful to those people and organizations you hold most dear.
Our gift planning counselors show you how to make the best use of tax laws and wealth transfer principles that maximize what you share with others and minimize what goes to taxes and probate fees.
Through a gift plan that includes the LCMS, enabled by a gift planning advocate, you may:
- Increase your annual income
- Eliminate capital gains tax on assets
- Gift the most appropriate/favorable assets to heirs and to the ministry you love
- Receive a significant tax deduction
- Lower your potential estate tax
- Assure the transfer of your fullest possible estate value to heirs
- Increase possible gifts to heirs and grandchildren
