Plan your legacy: Gifts from a will or trust with thanks to Lon and Ranita McMurtrey

While many may wonder how they will make a lasting impact on their community, Lon and Ranita McMurtrey already have their answer to that question. After meeting with their financial advisors, the McMurtreys made the generous decision to include a gift to the IU Health Foundation in their estate plan.

The McMurtreys made a gift to the Olcott Center at IU Health Bloomington in support of the “Area of Greatest Need” fund. Instead of making a specific gift designation, Lon and Ranita want to equip the Olcott Center with the flexibility to fund whatever they may need in the future. They appreciate the benefits of making their gift and commented that it was easy to arrange and will not alter their current lifestyle. Their gift can also be easily modified to address their changing needs.

If you are interested to learn more about planned gifts and options to donate, please call IU Health Foundation to explore gift options—including a gift to the area of greatest need near where you live. You may also provide the language below to your financial advisor if interested in putting us in your will or trust. You may also wish to visit our website for more information about planned gifts.
