Planning for the Future Recently my wife, Barbara, and I reviewed our wills and estate plans. Among the changes we made was the inclusion of Asheville School in our final bequests. You may say, "Why is someone who is only 40 making estate plans?" You may say, "I'm younger than him, I don't need to worry about that stuff yet." Many of us, particularly those of us in the classes after 1980 or so, haven't given much thought to our "estate" planning. Everyone should have a will, even if it’s only a simple document detailing some routine wishes. I cannot stress to you enough that a strong will makes life so much easier for those you leave behind, no matter when you die. And yes all of you out there, someday, will die. But for those of us who truly love our School and want to provide the best planning for our families, a will is a necessity. If you have one and are pleased with it, a codicil including Asheville School could be written and put into place for as little as $100.00. For those of you who don't have a will, please for the sake of your families, loved ones, and associates, have one created.

Planning Ahead It is now some ten years ago that I was contemplating my future retirement, now achieved, and began to plan for that future. Among my considerations was how to utilize a highly appreciated asset - a 200-acre farm that ended up in the pathway of progress in Atlanta’s periphery - to provide future income in a most tax-efficient fashion. The use of a Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT) accomplished this very objective. |
