How you make a gift of real property
Your real property may be gifted to a church or Christian ministry of your choice by executing or signing a deed transferring ownership. You may deed part or all of your real property to that designated ministry. Your gift will generally be based on the property's fair market value, which must be established by an independent appraisal.
Can you make a gift of mortgaged property?
Please contact us if the property you wish to give has existing debt or a mortgage. Check with us on the capital gains tax implications of your gift. You also may be interested in life income options.
