Topics of discussion include the importance of drafting a will for all individuals, regardless of level of wealth, the potential consequences from not producing a will, and why this document should include a charitable planned giving component. The impact of even small charitable bequests on local organizations is discussed, as why proper estate planning can allow an individual to take care of loved ones while also making a significant difference for charitable organizations. Also mentioned is the importance of formally designating beneficiaries of 401k plans, retirement plans, insurance plans and other assets.
Guests in part three of this episode of Access Ann Arbor include Joe Ellen Rahaim (Co-Chair of Leave a Legacy Southeast Michigan and President/CEO of the Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation), Douglas Gross Certified Financial Planner for Raymond James Financial Services) and Cheryl Elliott (Co-Chair, Leave a Legacy Southeast Michigan).
LEAVE A LEGACY® Southeast Michigan is a nine-county-wide campaign encouraging people to name non-profit organizations in their wills. The campaign, which is driven by the efforts of volunteers from non-profit groups, and financial, estate planning and law firms, is sponsored by the Planned Giving Roundtable of Southeast Michigan — a group of professionals in legal, financial, and allied fields as well as fundraising professionals whose focus is planned giving.
The campaign resulted from a growing concern for non-profit organizations, who because of increasingly less government funding, are fighting to exist. And the problem worsens because this forces non-profit groups to rely more on public support; however, although 81.5% of people in Southeast Michigan give annually, only 2.8% leave a charitable bequest at death. LEAVE A LEGACY is addressing this problem by educating people about the importance of planned gifts for the charities we depend on and support.

http://www.facebook.com/LegalZoom Starting a Charity was easy with LegalZoom’s help. Time to brush your teeth! is a phrase the majority of us take for granted. For most children, brushing their teeth is part of a daily routine. However, while traveling recently through impoverished regions of Vietnam and Cambodia, we found that basic dental needs are not being met. I knew that starting a non-profit, charity organization was a good way to help. We visited many orphanages and childrens organizations and realized that thousands have never seen a dentist. Many don’t even know what a toothbrush or toothpaste is. These are basic necessities that every child deserves. We recently used LegalZoom to quickly incorporate Project Healthy Smile. Our mission is to provide oral health education and dental supplies to underprivileged children globally. Our video shows images of children in need and our first successful mission in Vietnam. LegalZoom helped us start our charity now, would you please help us with your votes to continue saving smiles worldwide. | LegalZoom Customer Story Contest
