Description

The following form is a sample of a charitable remainder inter vivos unitrust agreement. Travis Texas Charitable Remainder Inter Vivos Unit rust Agreement is a legal document that allows individuals to make a charitable donation while retaining income from the donated assets. This type of trust agreement is commonly used in estate planning to achieve both philanthropic goals and potential tax benefits. A Charitable Remainder Inter Vivos Unit rust Agreement in Travis Texas, or anywhere else, involves transferring assets such as cash, securities, or real estate to a trust, typically created by the settler (person establishing the trust). The trust then pays an income stream to one or more beneficiaries (often the settler and/or their designated beneficiaries) for a specified period or their lifetime. The income distributed to the trust beneficiaries can be a fixed percentage of the trust's value or a fixed dollar amount, depending on the terms set forth in the agreement. This income is typically paid annually or semi-annually and is determined by applying the agreed-upon payout rate to the trust's fair market value. There are several types of Charitable Remainder Inter Vivos Unit rust Agreements, including: 1. Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust (CAT): In a CAT, the trust beneficiaries receive a fixed annuity payment, which remains constant regardless of the trust's investment performance or fluctuations in its value. 2. Charitable Remainder Unit rust (CUT): A CUT, on the other hand, pays a fixed percentage of the trust's value, recalculated annually. This means that as the trust's value fluctuates, the annual income payment adjusts accordingly. 3. Net Income with Makeup Charitable Remainder Unit rust (TIMEOUT): A TIMEOUT allows for a fluctuating income payout, but it stipulates that any income shortfall in a particular year can be made up in future years when the trust's income exceeds the required payout. 4. Flip Unit rust: A Flip Unit rust is a type of CUT that starts off as a Net Income with Makeup Unit rust (TIMEOUT) and then "flips" into a standard CUT at a predetermined triggering event, such as the sale of a particular asset. It is important to note that the specific terms and conditions of the Travis Texas Charitable Remainder Inter Vivos Unit rust Agreement may vary depending on the preferences of the settler and the requirements of the charitable organization(s) involved. It is advised to consult with an attorney or financial advisor experienced in estate planning to ensure compliance with applicable laws and to tailor the agreement to personal circumstances.
