A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) allows individuals who are 70 1/2 years old or older to transfer up to $100,000 to charity tax-free each year. For those 73 years old, QCDs count toward the IRA owner’s required minimum distribution for the year. See details on the IRS website.

Planned Giving
Bequests are a meaningful way to make a lasting legacy to be remembered. Bequests lessen the burden of taxes on your family after you are gone and may have other tax benefits for you. This may include gifts made through your will, trust or retirement plans.
Your financial advisor may assist in specifying language in your will to ensure your wishes are clearly communicated and carried out.
