Charitable Remainder Unitrusts
(Gift example*)

You are considering a gift to THE ASSOCIATED of $250,000, but you are concerned about the capital gains consequences of liquidating assets, and reducing your and your spouse's cash flow.

You and your spouse, ages 70 and 68, own a small commercial building that has doubled in value and consequently generated several offers to purchase. You decide to place the building into a net-income unitrust that will pay 5% of the trust's value for your lifetime (initially from the rental income from the building, then a percentage of the proceeds of its sale) to the two of you. The remainder of the unitrust will go to THE ASSOCIATED .

What are your benefits?
