Consider these key reasons for taking action before the year ends:
AMT Rule Changes: This is the biggest reason. Proposed changes to the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) rules could impact charitable bequests for high-income individuals starting in 2024. These revisions might affect the tax benefits associated with your charitable contributions. It's advisable to consult with your accountant or tax professional to understand how these changes may affect your situation. Read more about the proposed AMT adjustments HERE.

To ensure that your charitable bequests are in place before the close of 2023, starting the process soon is essential.
Beneficiary Designation: If you already have an existing life insurance policy and wish to designate your chosen charity as the beneficiary, this requires updating your policy. The can also be time-consuming, as it entails paperwork and requires processing by your insurance provider.
