Charitable Giving Through Estate Planning

When a Florida resident names a charity as a beneficiary of his or her estate, he or she intends the gift to be nothing but a blessing and benefit. However, that person must be careful to ensure that their gift will not be contested or impose an unintentional burden on the recipient.

At Frese, Whitehead, Anderson & Henderson, P.A., we have helped our clients donate resources to the causes they care about deeply. We also help charities and personal representatives collaborate to protect the gifts of donors. Our in-depth understanding of Florida estate and trust law, combined with our experience working with a wide variety of charities, makes us a trusted choice for this matter.
