A charitable lead trust
offers unique estate planning advantages.
Income-producing assets such as stock or real estate
are irrevocably transferred to a lead trust, which
pays income to an organization such as the American
Youth Scholarship Foundation for a number of years.
Following the term of the trust, the property
transfers back to other individuals, typically the
donor's children or grandchildren, at reduced costs,
because any appreciation of the asset while it is in
the lead trust is not taxed when transferred back. It
is an excellent way to transfer to your heirs assets
that are expected to appreciate in value.
A charitable lead
trust is good for individuals who face substantial
estate and gift tax liability. For more information
about this highly specialized estate planning tool,
please contact Dr. Alexander Kashef at the American
Youth Scholarship Foundation.
