I've somehow found myself with another unusual situation right after my last post. A donor is interested in gifting a parcel of land and the building on it, and leadership has suggested that we make a partial payment of the value and acknowledge the remainder as a charitable gift. This sounds like bifurcation to me, but I don't have direct experience with gifts of real estate, so I'd appreciate feedback from someone who's more familiar with that side of the law. I have been thinking of this in the same vein as any other in kind gift based on prior research. I'd be very grateful for any further advice or recommendations!
