Analyzing Proposed Gifts of Illiquid Assets

Program Description:  
​
Planned giving professionals are often required to evaluate whether a proposed contribution of an asset that is illiquid should be accepted. Illiquid assets include real property as well as interests in closely held corporations, limited liability companies, and partnerships. Before accepting a gift of this type, it is important to understand the tax and non-tax issues associated with these gifts and have a comprehensive list of procedures so that the gift can be properly analyzed.  Failing to properly vet the gift can result in unexpected surprises to both the charity and the donor.
