Supporting Community Organizations as Part of Your Planning
Your support of a community organization is not just an act of generosity but can also be part of your overall planning.
Among the innovative strategies at the intersection of philanthropy and estate planning is the use of private placement variable annuities (PPVA) to make charitable contributions. A PPVA’s structure and features provide flexibility in planning, but also allow the donor or trustee, if trust owned, the freedom to make changes.
Our latest blog, available at the link below, takes a deeper look at using PPVAs in a charitable context.
And remember, C3 Financial Partners has a specialization in providing education on insurance solutions designed to meet personal and philanthropic community goals.

Who Will File?
The Corporate Transparency Act (the “CTA”) went into effect on January 1 and creates a new set of filing requirements around the beneficial ownership of both existing and new companies.
So who will be helping clients complete these filings? A recent speaker we heard indicated accountants do not have the proper liability insurance to take this on, so it will likely fall to lawyers. However, some lawyers we have spoken to are not yet prepared to do so.
This is an issue we will continue to monitor. In the meantime, our friends at Robin Glen have a piece on the CTA, available at the link below, that provides more insight into the CTA.
