Unlike with private trusts, the common law Rule Against Perpetuities (Rule) does not apply to the duration of charitable trusts.
Living trusts and testamentary trustsA living trust (sometimes called an inter vivos trust) is one created by the grantor during his or her lifetime, while a testamentary trust is a trust created by the grantor's will.
Subject to the terms of the trust deed, the trustee can distribute income or capital to a charity.
Testamentary trusts are discretionary trusts established in Wills, that allow the trustees of each trust to decide, from time to time, which of the nominated beneficiaries (if any) may receive the benefit of the distributions from that trust for any given period.
One of the drawbacks of a testamentary trust is the considerable responsibility it puts on the trustee. He must meet regularly with the probate court to demonstrate his safe handling of the trust, and depending on your wishes, his tasks may go on for many years.
Trusts can be grouped into several different categories, but two of the most common are simple trusts and complex trusts. By definition, simple trusts are not permitted to make charitable contributions, as all the income generated through a simple trust must be distributed to the trust's beneficiaries.
All trusts are required to contain at least the following elements:Trusts must identify the grantor, trustee and beneficiary. The grantor and trustee must be identified because they are parties to the contract.The trust res must be identified.The trust must contain the signature of both the grantor and the trustee.
You can give any amount (up to a maximum of $100,000) per year from your IRA directly to a qualified charity such as Trust for Public Land without having to pay income taxes on the money.
A testamentary trust is a trust contained in a last will and testament. It provides for the distribution of all or part of an estate and often proceeds from a life insurance policy held on the person establishing the trust. There may be more than one testamentary trust per will.
Although we commonly think of trust beneficiaries as single individuals, it is also possible to name an organization, such as a charity, as the beneficiary of a revocable trust. The process of naming the charity as the beneficiary is virtually no different than the one used to name an individual.
