Charitable Remainder Trust
A Charitable Remainder Trust ("CRT") is a split interest trust wherein you retain the right to receive a certain amount each year (expressed as a percentage of the assets or as a fixed annuity) ("Income Interest") and whatever remains at the end of the trust passes to charity ("Remainder Interest"). A CRT may terminate (1) upon an individual income beneficiary’s death, (2) within twenty years of formation, or (3) the later of the two. The person who establishes the CRT (the "grantor") receives an income, gift, or estate tax deduction equal to the actuarial value of the remainder interest. It is IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND that the information and illustrations provided is for discusion sake only and is subject to changing legislation. It is incomplete and specific current details will need to be provided and drafted by a competent attorney.
