Can an ABE Charitable Gift Account be considered part of my estate?
Donor contributions to the ABE Charitable Gift Fund made during the Donor’s lifetime, and any subsequent increase in the value of a Donor’s account, are not part of a Donor’s taxable estate and are not subject to estate taxes or probate. Assets in a Charitable Gift Account or the Charitable Legacy Fund may not be appointed, willed or bequeathed to any person or organization.
