Two common estate planning goals are contributing to a favorite charity and leaving significant assets to your family under favorable tax terms. A charitable remainder trust (CRT) can help you achieve both goals. Typically, you create a CRT and fund it with assets such as cash and securities. The trust pays out income to the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries for life or a term of 20 years or less. The CRT then distributes the remaining assets to one or more charities. When using a CRT, you may be eligible for a current tax deduction based on several factors. Be aware that a CRT is irrevocable; once it’s set up, you can’t make changes. Contact us for details.
