Description

The following form is a sample of a charitable remainder inter vivos unitrust agreement. A Massachusetts Charitable Remainder Inter Vivos Unit rust Agreement is a legal document that facilitates the transfer of assets by an individual (the donor) to a trust, which then utilizes the income generated from those assets for charitable purposes. This agreement provides the donor with several benefits, including income tax deductions, estate tax savings, and the opportunity to support charitable organizations of their choice. One type of Massachusetts Charitable Remainder Inter Vivos Unit rust Agreement is the Net Income with Makeup Charitable Remainder Unit rust (TIMEOUT). This trust provides a fixed percentage of the trust's net assets, revalued annually, to the donor or designated beneficiaries. Any shortfall in payouts during a given year can be made up in subsequent years of the trust. This type of trust is ideal for donors who prefer stable income and the potential for growth in trust assets. Another type is the Flip Charitable Remainder Unit rust (Flip CUT). This trust allows the donor to receive income from non-income-producing assets during their lifetime and subsequently "flip" to income-producing assets. This arrangement can help the donor defer capital gains taxes while diversifying their investment portfolio. Upon the donor's passing, the remaining trust assets are distributed to the chosen charitable organizations. A variation of the Charitable Remainder Inter Vivos Unit rust Agreement in Massachusetts is the Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust (CAT). This trust guarantees a fixed annual dollar amount to the donor or designated beneficiaries, rather than a percentage of the trust assets. The CAT is particularly suitable for donors seeking a stable income stream, unaffected by market fluctuations, while still supporting charitable causes. In summary, a Massachusetts Charitable Remainder Inter Vivos Unit rust Agreement is a powerful tool for individuals seeking to contribute to charitable causes while enjoying financial benefits. By choosing the right type of trust agreement, donors can align their philanthropic goals with their financial objectives, creating a lasting legacy of support and making a positive impact on the community.
