Description

The following form is a sample of a charitable remainder inter vivos unitrust agreement. The District of Columbia Charitable Remainder Inter Vivos Unit rust Agreement (also known as CRT agreement) is a legal document established by an individual or entity that allows them to make a charitable contribution while retaining income benefits from their assets. This agreement is specifically tailored to comply with the laws and regulations of the District of Columbia regarding charitable trusts. A Charitable Remainder Inter Vivos Unit rust Agreement is designed to provide flexibility and tax benefits to the granter while supporting charitable causes. It involves transferring assets, such as cash, stocks, real estate, or other valuable property, into a trust that is managed by a trustee. The trustee then invests and manages these assets, aiming to generate income for the granter, who receives regular payments during their lifetime or a specified term. Upon the granter's death or the conclusion of the defined term, the remaining assets in the trust are distributed to the designated charitable organizations or causes. This ensures that the granter's philanthropic intentions are fulfilled, leaving a lasting impact on the community and causes they care about. The District of Columbia offers several variations of Charitable Remainder Inter Vivos Unit rust Agreements, including the Net Income with Makeup Unit rust and the Flip Unit rust. 1. Net Income with Makeup Unit rust: This type of agreement allows the granter to receive a fixed percentage of the trust's net fair market value, recalculated annually. If the trust income falls below this fixed percentage, the deficit can be made up in subsequent years when the trust's income exceeds the fixed percentage. This provision allows for flexibility and additional income when the trust's assets appreciate. 2. Flip Unit rust: This variation allows the trust to serve as a standard income unit rust until a predetermined triggering event occurs. This event can be the sale of a highly appreciated asset or the passage of a specified period. Once triggered, the trust "flips" into a net income unit rust or a standard unit rust, providing increased flexibility for the granter and potential tax benefits. District of Columbia residents considering a Charitable Remainder Inter Vivos Unit rust Agreement should consult with a qualified attorney or financial advisor to understand the specific provisions, tax implications, and benefits of these agreements. These agreements offer a unique opportunity to support charitable causes while potentially receiving financial benefits during the granter's lifetime or a specified term.
