Most families purchase their largest home in their 40s to accommodate growing families or to enjoy long-term comfort. But as retirement approaches and children move out, many find themselves with more space than they need. Whether you choose to stay in your beloved home or downsize to something more manageable, your property can become a powerful tool for giving back. Through options like gifting your home while retaining the right to live there, or donating a portion of your home’s value when you sell, you can reduce taxes, simplify your estate, and make a lasting difference in your community. A gift of real estate is more than a smart financial move—it’s a meaningful way to turn a personal milestone into a legacy of impact.
