Giving something back to others is something to consider when you are contemplating your legacy.
Any act of generosity is obviously going to be personally rewarding, and as you advance in age you may be all the more interested in doing something for others.
From a financial perspective there can actually be some tax advantages that go along with certain acts of giving as well. This is something that you would want to discuss with a highly qualified estate planning attorney.
Celebrities are usually quite successful financially, and as a result they are in a position to foster charitable legacies. The recently deceased former Dallas star Larry Hagman certainly did his part to this end.
Starting your own charitable foundation can be a fantastic way to craft an enduring legacy that really means something. Many people will devote their foundations to specific endeavors that have particular relevance to the founder.
