Trust Services & Planned Giving

Welcome to the Northern New England Conference Trust Services and Gift Planning web site.  We are here to serve you, to help you secure your future, your family’s future, and to leave a legacy of love to the charity you love through wise planning.  In these web pages you will find some very useful and informational materials.

 

The God of heaven owns everything . He allows us, His followers, to be stewards of time, talent, and possessions to use during our lifetime to glorify Him. These blessings provide for our personal needs, the needs of others, and the advancement of God's work on earth.

 

The Department of Trust Service & Planned Giving assists members and friends of the church in providing for their family and God's work through trusts, wills, gift annuities, and other special gifts. The conference arranges and pays for the services of an attorney for consultation and document preparation. It is anticipated that the Lord’s work in Northern New England will be remembered in the estate plans of those who come to us for help with their estate plan.  Family, conference, academies, local churches and schools benefit greatly from these arrangements. The Church through this specialized ministry also serves as trustee of a variety of revocable, irrevocable, and charitable trusts as well as personal representative in certain situations

 

Many are discovering the satisfaction of making current tax-wise gifts from accumulated assets. Gifts of appreciated assets such as real estate, stocks, bonds, and personal property can provide tax benefits and significantly support many ministries. Special plans are available that turn highly appreciated (or fully depreciated) assets into a life income and result in a future gift to God's cause   

 

If you have more questions about your own personal estate plan and you are interested in including the Seventh-day Adventist Church in your plan please feel free to contact us.
