Legacy Gift Bequest

Leaving Dreamscape International Entertainment a Bequest in your Will will help us in our mission to explore, understand, explain and make not good movies, but great films the world will remember.

DIE Films encourages donors to tailor their Bequests to programs and areas of their greatest interest. In this way, donors fulfill their dreams and are assured they leave a lasting footprint, profoundly impacting the Company mission, its programs and the future of film. Many donors leave their gifts unrestricted so they may be directed to the area of greatest need.

 

How it works

You can provide now for a future gift to Dreamscape International Entertainment, a Film Production Company by including a Bequest provision in your Will or revocable trust. Your Will or trust directs assets to your heirs. Your Will or trust directs a Bequest to the company for the purpose(s) you specify.

  

 

Benefits

  • Your assets remain in your control during your lifetime.

  • You can modify your Bequest if your circumstances change.

  • You can direct your Bequest to a particular purpose (be sure to check with Dreamscape International Entertainmen to make sure your gift can be used as intended).

  • There is no upper limit on the estate tax deductions that can be taken for charitable Bequests.

  • You can have the satisfaction now of knowing that your Bequest will support Dreamscape International Entertainment in the way you intended when you are gone.

 

A Bequest is simple and convenient.

There are a number of ways you can remember Dreamscape International Entertainment in your Will:

 

  • You can make a Bequest for a specific dollar amount or for a percentage of your estate

  • You can designate your Bequest for general use or you can restrict its use. Many individual establish endowments that honor the memory of a family member or another loved one. These endowments live forever since only the income is used annually.

 

Since a Will is an important legal document, you should seek an attorney’s help. To assist you with this important process, we offer some suggested Bequest wording below:
