Charitable Planning With Guest Stephanie Hood: Navigating Complex Rules and Traps for the Unwary

February 26, 2024 Podcast
EO Radio Show - Your Nonprofit Legal Resource

Welcome to EO Radio Show - Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. This week, I am delighted to have Stephanie Hood return as my guest. Stephanie is my colleague at Farella Braun + Martel and a key member of our top-notch estate planning practice and private client industry group.

Our clients often come to us with a request to help them think about funding charities during their lifetimes and through their estate plans. In addition to thinking about how to structure the gifts to ensure their charitable intent is carried out, many of these clients are also sensitive to the federal and state tax consequences of their gifts. Stephanie is here today to talk through the complex rules and some traps for the unwary.
