Charitable Lead Trusts

CLICK HERE FOR A DETAILED EXPLANATION

How It Works

You contribute securities or other appreciating property to a charitable lead trust.

The trust makes fixed annual payments to Diakon for a period of time.

When the trust terminates, the remaining principal is paid to your heirs.

Benefits

• The present value of the income payments to Diakon reduces your gift/estate tax.
• All appreciation that takes place in the trust goes tax-free to your heirs.
• The amount and term of the payments to Diakon can be set so as to reduce or even eliminate the transfer taxes due when the principal reverts to your heirs.
• You have the satisfaction of making a significant gift to Diakon now that reduces the taxes due on transfers to your heirs later.
