Description

This form is a sample provision in a testamentary trust with a bequest to charity for a stated charitable purpose. A Vermont Provision in a Testamentary Trust with Bequest to Charity for a Stated Charitable Purpose is a legal instrument that allows individuals to include provisions in their wills, establishing a trust for the purpose of benefiting a particular charitable cause or organization after their death. This provision ensures that a donor's charitable intentions are fulfilled, while also granting them the flexibility to direct how their assets are to be used for charitable purposes. In Vermont, there are a few different types of provisions that can be included in a Testamentary Trust with a Bequest to Charity for a Stated Charitable Purpose. These include: 1. Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT): A CRT allows the donor to transfer assets into a trust that will provide income to a named charitable organization for a specific period or until the donor's death. After the trust term ends, the remaining assets pass to another named beneficiary, such as a family member or additional charity. 2. Charitable Lead Trust (CLT): This trust provides income payments to a charitable organization for a predetermined period or until the donor's death. Afterward, the remaining assets are transferred to non-charitable beneficiaries, such as family members or additional charities. 3. Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA): With a CGA, the donor makes a charitable gift to a nonprofit organization and, in return, receives a fixed income for the remainder of their life. Upon the donor's death, the remaining assets are typically designated for the same charitable organization. 4. Pooled Income Fund (PIF): A PIF is a trust established and administered by a charity that combines contributions from multiple donors. The income from the fund is distributed proportionally among the donors based on their contributions. After the donor's death, the remaining assets are retained by the charity. These various provisions offer individuals the opportunity to support charitable causes in Vermont and contribute to meaningful initiatives that align with their philanthropic goals. By including a Vermont Provision in their Testamentary Trust, individuals can ensure that their legacy and desire to make a positive impact continue long after they are gone.
