My client is thinking of setting up a Charitable Remainder Trust. How can he do that? Can you explain the tiered taxation of Charitable Remainder Trusts?


ANSWER


Expert Mark Anderson's Answer:

He can retain an estate planning attorney to draft a trust.   He would get a charitable deduction for the present value of the donation to the trust.  He would then receive a percentage of the assets and income like 5% and the remainder would go to the charity upon his death.
