  • 1.  Estate Gift: Cash, Bonds, and Mutual Funds oh my!

    Posted 10-22-2025 10:49 AM

    Dear colleagues,

    We are anticipating the receipt of an estate gift made up of a cash wire transfer, gift of bonds, and gift of mutual funds.  Given the varied vehicles in this gift, would it be a wild idea to ask the estate trutees to liquidate the bonds and mutual funds and transfer them to us as cash? I've done some research in the Case Library and here, and didn't see anything.

    Thanks,

    Molly

    Not wild but you would need to first take "ownership." you would then need to give them fiscal agent status to do so for you.

    You probably need to get Counsel and the CFO involved.
