Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust
|
| The Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust provides for the
payment of a fixed amount annually, or at more frequent intervals, to a designated
beneficiary or beneficiaries. The amount must equal at least 5 per cent of the initial
fair market value of the trust. At the death of the last life income beneficiary, or at
the end of the designated term of years, the remaining trust principal is distributed to a
designated charitable organization. |
|
| Example: |
| If you establish a $100,000 charitable remainder annuity trust
which provides for annual payments of $8,000 to your sister, and next year the value of
the trust appreciates to $110,000, your sister will receive $8,000. If, the following
year, the trust depreciates in value to $90,000, your sister still receives $8,000. |
