Lead Trusts allow you to pass assets to your heirs at reduced gift and estate taxes while providing an income stream to Alley Cat Allies for a set number of years.
For example if, at age 65, you were to establish a charitable lead annuity trust with $300,000 of appreciated property (with a cost basis of $200,000) designed to pay 7% to Alley Cat Allies for 10 years and then pass the assets in the trust to your heirs, you would receive:
- An immediate income tax deduction of more than $125,000
- Reduced gift and estate tax levels when the assets are passed to your heirs.
Lead trusts can be set up in many different ways and can be very flexible.
