Plan wisely for your future A will is a crncial pan of a smart financial plan for you and your family, and the charitable organizations you support. A valid will allows you, not state law, to determine how your assets will be distributed. Charitable bequests are usually free from inheritance taxes and may have important advantages-a proper plan could even result in a larger estate passing to your heirs. Consider making a bequest to support education at Portland State Univer– sity. Donors who include the PSU Foundation in their estate plans are offered membership in the Centennial Society. lf you would like more information on making a gi ft to PSU through your estate plans or sample bequest language for your wi ll , please contact us below.

It is impo,·– tant that you wor/1 closely with your tax and legal advisers lO create a solution Jo, your personal situation.
