Your financial advisor and attorney can assist you in structuring this type of Trust in a way that benefits you and your family, and WMNF down the road.
Charitable Remainder Trusts are irrevocable trusts that generate a potential income stream for you as the donor (or for other beneficiaries whom you name to receive the income stream), with the remainder of the donated assets going to WMNF. These types of trusts can be set up in various ways and provide tax benefits for the donor by providing an immediate charitable deduction, but also providing for an income stream. At the end of the trust when the income stream ends, the assets in the trust can be sold without payment of capital gains and WMNF will receive the remaining assets. These types of trusts are often funded with significantly appreciated assets. Your financial advisor and attorney can assist you in structuring this type of Trust in a way that benefits you and your family, and WMNF down the road. Thank you for your consideration of a legacy gift to WMNF. Through your generosity, we will be able to keep WMNF around for future generations of listeners!
