Charitable Remainder Trusts Charitable beneficiary
receives the remainder interest. It provides financial and estate
planning flexibility. Donor transfers property under a trust agreement
that specifies how trust income and principal are to be distributed.
Trust may be created to become effective during life or at death. An
irrevocable trust qualifies for tax consideration if it is in two forms:
|
Charitable Remainder Unitrust- provides for payment to the
beneficiaries of an amount that may vary. Payment must equal a fixed
percentage of the net fair-market value of the trust. Donor determines
the fixed percentage, must be at least 5% of the value of the trust
assets. Payments made at least annually.
|
|
Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust- instead of a payout that may
vary, the annuity trust provides a fixed payout of not less than 5% of
the initial fair-market value of the gift in trust. Makes it suitable
for a beneficiary who needs the security of a specific income.
|
Retirement Funds (IRA) Donors can direct their
retirement funds and IRAs in support of the MAGDRL. This designation
often allows the donor to make a considerable legacy gift. Careful
planning is necessary in the use of IRAs and other retirement plans to
fund charitable gifts.
