Estate Planning

Welcome to the Shepherd’s Society Gift and Estate Design Resource Center – great stewardship ideas to benefit our San Diego community.

You are serious about your stewardship. Our desire is to help you multiply your impact.
Did you know that most of our giving is strictly in cash …which is only 9% of what we own? The remaining 91% of what we own is rarely considered within our stewardship strategy!And yet, gifting these assets can help multiply the impact of our giving.Gifts of these assets are often very powerful tools for bypassing capital gains taxes, minimizing income taxes or reducing potential estate taxes.These gifts can be made during your lifetime or through your Will or Trust.We stand ready to serve you as trusted stewardship teammates.

Enjoy visiting each stewardship concept page listed in the left navigation column.
