A Charitable Remainder Inter Vivos Unit rust (CUT) Agreement provides the donor with a flexible and tax-efficient way to support their philanthropic goals.

There are several types of South Carolina Charitable Remainder Inter Vivos Unit rust Agreements available, each offering unique advantages depending on the donor's preferences and circumstances: 1. Standard Charitable Remainder Unit rust: This is the most common type of CUT in South Carolina. It provides a fixed percentage of the trust's fair market value to the income beneficiary (donor) for life or a specified term. The income payments are recalculated annually based on the trust's valuation. 2. Net Income Charitable Remainder Unit rust: With this type of agreement, the income beneficiary receives the least of the trust's net income or a fixed percentage of the trust's fair market value. If the net income is lower than the fixed percentage, the shortfall can be accumulated and paid out in future years when the trust's income exceeds the fixed percentage. 3. Flip Charitable Remainder Unit rust: This arrangement allows the CUT to undergo a change in payment provisions upon the occurrence of a triggering event, such as the sale of a property or the attainment of a certain age by the income beneficiary. For example, the flip CUT could start as a net income CUT and "flip" to a standard CUT upon the sale of an appreciated asset. 4. TIMEOUT (Net Income with Makeup Charitable Remainder Unit rust): This type of CUT allows the net income to be made up in subsequent years if there are any shortfalls in distributions caused by low trust income.

It is recommended to consult with legal and financial professionals to determine the most suitable type of CUT based on individual goals, tax implications, and asset portfolio.
