Charitable Lead Trusts
(Gift example*)

Example

Assume that you use appreciated property with an average cost basis of 50% to fund a $2 million Charitable Lead Annuity Trust (CLAT) that makes a 6% annuity payment ($120,000) to THE ASSOCIATED for 20 years, after which the trust principal reverts to your grandchildren in a generation skipping transfer. Assume also that your gross estate is currently $10 million, you have made no previous taxable transfers, you are in the 35% federal income tax bracket, and the state income tax for trusts is 2.5%. Assume further that your average total investment return is 5% over the 20 year term. A 5.6 IRS Discount Rate is used to calculate the value of the remainder interest to your heirs.
