A planned donation is a course of action, usually of a legal nature, that has the purpose of giving property or an asset to a recipient at a given moment in the future. Such transfers can be made during the benefactor's lifetime, but are most often executed after his death and can even be conditional on the prior death of a primary beneficiary, such as a spouse. For this reason, planned donations are often confused with bequests. 2, record 4, English, - planned%20gift
