Extension of the IRA charitable giving act

Extension of this act is so important and has not only helped charities but has freed so many individual donors to do more than they thought possible in charitable giving

I agree with the above

I agree with the above poster, this has given one of my close full 'financial' backing when he is giving to cancer research which is a very dear charity to him

IRA Distributions

Do you find it advisable to have a gift agreement in place or other supporting documentation when receiving these assets? Have there been successful cases where heirs win to overturn these gifts to charities?

Extension of Charitable Tax Free IRA Distributions

I have used this law to enable a number of clients to set up scholarships in their names at their Alma Mater for the future (using Life Insurance as the major funding vehicle). It is a tremendous way to maximize their gifts while reducing their eventual taxable estate. I would like to see the provision made permanent. As I'm sure the Charities would.
