Estate Planning

Interested in designating FOSS in your estate plans?

Below is some simplified language for you to include in your will/trust or retirement plan asset donation:

Wills or Trusts:

I give and devise to Friends of Sacred Structures (a non-profit, registered in the State of Kansas), the sum of $________ (or asset) OR ( ____% of the residue of my estate) to be used for its general support (or for the support of a specific fund or program).

Retirement Plan Assets:

Retirement plans owned by the donor may be gifted to FOSS at the donor’s death.  Methods for gifting retirement assets include:

(1)   Naming FOSS as a primary, successor, or contingent beneficiary for all or part of the assets upon death of either the retirement asset owner or spouse;

(2)   Creating a testamentary charitable remainder trust with the assets upon the death of the asset owner, naming FOSS as remainder beneficiary and non-charitable heirs as income beneficiaries.
