Upon death, retirement plans or IRA balances are included for estate and income taxes to your beneficiaries – often up to 85%. Designating Cleveland Metroparks as a beneficiary of your IRA or retirement plan prevents these funds from becoming a liability of your estate, and the gift is made with pre-tax dollars.
Cleveland Metroparks is available to assist you or your advisors, providing information about specific programs of personal interest to you.
