Description

The following form is a sample of a charitable remainder inter vivos unitrust agreement. South Dakota Charitable Remainder Inter Vivos Unit rust Agreement refers to a legal document that allows individuals to transfer assets into a trust for charitable purposes while retaining some income stream or financial benefits during their lifetime. This type of trust is established during the lifetime of the individual, rather than through a will. In a South Dakota Charitable Remainder Inter Vivos Unit rust Agreement, the granter (the individual establishing the trust) transfers assets, such as cash, securities, or real estate, into the trust. The trust is managed by a trustee, who can be an individual or a professional organization, responsible for investing the assets and distributing the income or principal to designated beneficiaries. One key aspect of this agreement is that the trust must distribute a fixed percentage of the trust's net fair market value, revalued annually, to the beneficiaries. This ensures that while the granter retains an income stream, the trust can also grow and generate additional income for charitable purposes. South Dakota offers several types of Charitable Remainder Inter Vivos Unit rust Agreements, each providing different advantages based on the varying needs and goals of the granter: 1. Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust (CAT): This type of unit rust agreement guarantees a fixed annual payment to the beneficiaries based on a predetermined percentage of the initial fair market value of the trust assets. The payment remains constant throughout the trust term, regardless of any fluctuations in the trust's value. 2. Charitable Remainder Unit rust (CUT): Unlike CAT, CUT pays the beneficiaries a fixed percentage of the trust's net fair market value, which is revalued annually. This allows the beneficiaries to potentially benefit from income increases resulting from the trust's investments, especially when the trust's value grows over time. 3. Net Income Charitable Remainder Unit rust (NICEST): In this variation, the beneficiaries receive either the trust's net income or a percentage, whichever is lower, ensuring a more stable income. If the trust fails to generate sufficient income in a given year, it can accumulate the shortfall and distribute it in subsequent years when income exceeds the defined percentage. 4. Net Income with Makeup Charitable Remainder Unit rust (TIMEOUT): Similar to NICEST, TIMEOUT allows beneficiaries to receive either the trust's net income or a percentage, but any deficiency in income can be made up in later years when the trust income exceeds the specified percentage. By establishing a South Dakota Charitable Remainder Inter Vivos Unit rust Agreement, individuals can support charitable causes, receive potential tax benefits, diversify their assets, and ensure a lasting legacy of philanthropy while maintaining a financial foothold for themselves or their beneficiaries.
