Getting
Started: Charitable Lead Trusts
When people think about providing an inheritance to children and
making a significant charitable gift through their estates, a
vehicle known as the "charitable lead trust" is an excellent method
to accomplish both objectives.
Charity That
Ends at Home
Many trust plans, such as charitable remainder trusts, are designed
to pay income to you or your family before the remainder goes to a
charitable organization. But a plan that's often overlooked yet
highly useful does just the opposite: a charitable lead trust.
