The following form is a sample of a charitable remainder inter vivos unitrust agreement. Washington Charitable Remainder Inter Vivos Unit rust Agreement is a legal document that allows individuals to make a charitable donation while still retaining an income stream and receiving tax benefits. This agreement is established during the lifetime of the donor (inter vivos) and is governed by Washington state laws. The main objective of a Charitable Remainder Inter Vivos Unit rust Agreement is to provide financial support to the designated charitable organization(s) while allowing the donor and any other designated beneficiaries to receive income from the trust. The trust assets are valued based on fair market value at the time of contribution. There are two main types of Charitable Remainder Inter Vivos Unit rust Agreements that can be established in Washington: 1. Charitable Remainder Unit rust (CUT): In this type of agreement, the donor receives a fixed percentage (usually between 5% to 8%) of the trust assets' value on an annual basis. The income received may vary each year, as it depends on the revaluation of the trust assets. At the end of the trust term or the death of the last beneficiary, the remaining trust assets are transferred to the designated charitable organization(s). 2. Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust (CAT): Unlike CUT, a CAT provides a fixed dollar amount as income to the donor and/or other beneficiaries. The specified amount is determined when the trust is established and remains constant throughout the trust term. Upon termination of the trust, the remaining assets will be donated to the chosen charity. By establishing a Charitable Remainder Inter Vivos Unit rust Agreement in Washington, donors can enjoy several benefits. These include an immediate income tax charitable deduction for a percentage of the contribution, elimination or reduction of capital gains taxes on appreciated assets, potential estate tax savings, and the satisfaction of supporting charitable causes that align with their values. It is crucial for individuals considering establishing such an agreement to consult with legal and financial professionals who specialize in estate planning and charitable giving to ensure compliance with Washington state laws and to optimize the potential benefits available.
