Retirement Plans
You may wish to designate Chabad of Westwood - Holmby as beneficiary of your retirement plan. When you designate your children or other heirs as beneficiaries, they receive only a small fraction of the plan's value since inherited assets of retirement plans (such as IRA's, 401k's, Keogh Plans and others) are subject to both estate and income tax. You would be making a substantial donation to the Center at a minimum cost to your family with plan assets that would be otherwise subject to tax.
