Members of Laguna Niguel Presbyterian Church have an opportunity to support the church's needs and leave a lasting legacy through careful estate planning.

Estate planning should be conducted with an expert who can help identify the elements that meet individual and family needs.  This will include a will, methods of reducing probate costs and estate taxes, naming guardians for dependents, a living will and powers of attorney.

YOUR LEGACY

Through Planned Giving, it is possible for you to support the church for many years to come using a portion of your estate to continue God's work at LNPC.  There are four primary ways to support the church:

• Direct gift or bequest to the Operating Fund
• Bequest to the Memorial Fund
• Gift or bequest to the LNPC Endowment Fund.

The Planned Giving Committee will be happy to assist you in deciding which of these four options is best for you.

The Endowment Fund is unique because it is a perpetual fund and it allows you to specify how the income is to be used.  To learn more about the Endowment Fund, follow this link.

Any planned giving should be coordinated with a certified financial planner, or an attorney specializing in estate planning.  These experts can explain the pros and cons of various plans, including relatively sophisticated vehicles such as charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts, etc (more info).  Your Planned Giving Committee can help you find a qualified expert.
