Useful Information for U.S. Tax Persons making Gifts to the Trust by Bequest or Beneficiary Designation.

1) When leaving a legacy to the Trust, please ask your attorney to consider using the following language if you wish your bequest to go to Corpus:
“To the then Trustees of the Avatar Meher Baba Perpetual Public Charitable Trust, a public charitable trust under the Bombay Public Trusts Act (1950), located in Ahmednagar, Maharashtra State, India, to be added to Corpus and used exclusively for its public charitable uses and purposes described in section 2055(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.”
If you do not wish your bequest to go to Corpus, please designate it for other specific Trust objects by stating your wishes clearly.

2) If you plan to name the Trust as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy or retirement account, please note that the Trust does not have a U.S. employer identification number (EIN). The Trust should be contacted after your death and before payment is made so that it may provide the forms and supporting documentation to confirm for the payor that the distribution to the Trust is not subject to U.S. withholding tax.
If information regarding the Trust is needed to substantiate a U.S. charitable deduction for estate, gift or fiduciary income tax purposes, the Trust can provide information, documents and/or a copy of its Affidavit of Equivalency to a U.S. Public Charity (with annual updates) or an attorney opinion letter.
