Charitable Lead Trusts
CLICK HERE FOR A DETAILED EXPLANATION
How It Works
You contribute securities or other appreciating property to a charitable lead trust.
The trust makes fixed annual payments to KCET for a period of time.
When the trust terminates, the remaining principal is paid to your heirs.
Benefits
- The present value of the income payments to KCET reduces your gift/estate tax.
- All appreciation that takes place in the trust goes tax-free to your heirs.
- The amount and term of the payments to KCET can be set so as to reduce or even eliminate the transfer taxes due when the principal reverts to your heirs.
- You have the satisfaction of making a significant gift to KCET now that reduces the taxes due on transfers to your heirs later.
