Charitable Lead Trusts

CLICK HERE FOR A DETAILED EXPLANATION

How It Works

  You contribute securities or other appreciating property to a charitable lead trust.

  The trust makes fixed annual payments to Lyon College for a period of time.

  When the trust terminates, the remaining principal is paid to your heirs.

Benefits

• The present value of the income payments to Lyon College reduces your gift/estate tax.
• All appreciation that takes place in the trust goes tax-free to your heirs.
• The amount and term of the payments to Lyon College can be set so as to reduce or even eliminate the transfer taxes due when the principal reverts to your heirs.
• You have the satisfaction of making a significant gift to Lyon College now that reduces the taxes due on transfers to your heirs later.
