• Trusts
  Charitable Trusts: For those with larger estates, charitable trusts offer sophisticated ways to benefit both charity and your heirs. A charitable remainder trust can provide income to your beneficiaries for a set period, with the remaining assets going to charity. Conversely, a charitable lead trust can provide income to charity for a period, with the remainder going to your beneficiaries. Note that charitable trusts are typically used to save money on capital gains tax as part of a sale transaction.
