Oklahoma Charitable Remainder Inter Vivos Annuity Trust (CAT) is a legal and financial instrument designed to support charitable causes while providing income for the donor or beneficiaries during their lifetime. This trust is created during the donor's lifetime, making it an inter vivos trust. A Charitable Remainder Inter Vivos Annuity Trust typically involves the following parties: the donor (also known as the granter or settler), the trustee (an entity responsible for managing the trust assets), and the charitable organization(s) chosen as the ultimate beneficiary. The primary goal of an Oklahoma Charitable Remainder Inter Vivos Annuity Trust is to allow the donor to make a substantial charitable gift while still benefiting from a steady income stream. The donor transfers assets (such as cash, real estate, or securities) into the trust, which then invests those assets to generate income. The donor receives a fixed income from the trust, typically in the form of annual payments based on a predetermined fixed percentage of the initial contribution. These payments are made for the donor's lifetime or for a specified period, up to 20 years. Moreover, the donor may receive a charitable income tax deduction at the time of establishing the trust for the present value of the remainder interest that will eventually pass to the charitable organization(s). When the donor passes away or the specified period ends, the remaining assets in the trust are distributed to the charitable beneficiaries. The donor can designate one or multiple charitable organizations to benefit from the trust, enabling them to support causes they are passionate about. In Oklahoma, there are no specific types of Charitable Remainder Inter Vivos Annuity Trusts exclusive to the state. However, various variations of Cats exist, such as Net Income Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust (NITRATE) and Flip CAT. These variations offer different payout structures and benefits, allowing donors to customize their charitable giving strategy based on their specific goals and circumstances. Overall, the Oklahoma Charitable Remainder Inter Vivos Annuity Trust presents an attractive option for individuals who wish to support charitable causes, enjoy tax benefits, and receive a reliable income stream during their lifetime. It provides a win-win opportunity to make a positive impact while enjoying financial security.
