BUILDING A FAMILY LEGACY: THE POWER OF A MULTI-LIFE CHARITABLE REMAINDER TRUST (CRT)

Imagine a powerful technique that seamlessly combines estate planning, financial planning, and philanthropy into one. The multi-life Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT) takes the benefits of a regular CRT and enhances them by incorporating “multiple lives.”

In this article, we will explore the unique advantages of a multilife CRT and how it can help you create a lasting family legacy.

Estate Planning: Maximizing Tax Benefits and Legacy Preservation

The multi-life CRT offers a multitude of estate planning benefits. One of the core benefits of a CRT is that it reduces the amount of death/estate taxes on the amount treated as passing to the charity (present value). Additionally, it provides a lifetime charitable income tax deduction and defers capital gains taxes on appreciated assets contributed to the CRT, thanks to its tax-exempt status.

Notably, the CRT not only safeguards wealth but also ensures favorable cash flow, income tax deductions, and income for the future beneficiary. Along with these benefits, it simultaneously establishes a meaningful and lasting legacy for the remainder charity beneficiaries under the CRT.

Financial Planning: Fulfilling Common Goals and Maximizing Returns

A CRT can satisfy the donor’s desire to have financial assets left over to take care of the donor’s family and leave a legacy. The CRT maintains a steady income for the donor through required annual distributions (minimum 5%) while allowing for diversification of investments without incurring upfront capital gains taxes. With tax-exempt status, the CRT enables tax-free compounded growth within the trust and favorable income taxation on distributions.

With a multi-life CRT, you can choose multiple successor beneficiaries, be it a spouse, child, grandchild, or sibling, with a consistent income stream for a specified number of years or even their lifetime. In turn, the donor enjoys an immediate charitable income tax benefit that helps offset taxable income.

Philanthropic Planning: Making a Meaningful Impact

A CRT provides mutual benefits for all parties involved, including donors, their families, and chosen charities. It establishes an irrevocable trust that secures a legacy gift to the donor’s preferred charity while allowing flexibility to change selected charities during the CRT’s income term.

The multi-life CRT can serve as a catalyst for family philanthropy,

fostering a sense of unity and shared values across generations.

Example:

To illustrate the potential of a multi-life CRT, let’s consider the following scenario: a donor with a $5,000,000 estate, a spouse, and two children.

The donor’s plan entails setting up a revocable trust to provide the surviving spouse’s lifetime benefits of $4,000,000, plus two $500,000 multi-life CRTs. Upon the spouse’s passing, the revocable trust divides into two $2,000,000 lifetime trusts to benefit the children and grandchildren. Additionally, the two $500,000 multi-life CRTs will provide a steady distribution of approximately $25,000 per year for each child (equal to the five percent distribution rate.) This distribution will continue for their lifetime or up to a set amount of time (maximum of 20 years.)

Finally, upon the death of the last non-charitable beneficiary, the remaining assets would pass to the donor’s selected charities, ensuring a lasting philanthropic impact.

Multi-life CRT & Donor-Advised Funds: A Perfect Match

In many cases, donors may choose to make the charitable beneficiary a donor-advised fund at a Community Foundation. By partnering with a donor-advised fund, like Collier Community Foundation, donors gain centralized control over their charitable giving, ensuring flexibility and efficiency. Partnering with the Collier Community Foundation is a sensible way to build a meaningful legacy and make a significant difference in their communities while benefiting from reduced taxes, including estate and gift taxes, lifetime charitable income tax deductions, and deferred capital gains taxes.

By integrating estate, financial, and philanthropic goals, the multi-life CRT may be a powerful tool to consider as you plan your estate.

THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSON YOU WILL EVER HAVE

I am often asked if you had to pick one lesson that would help everyone universally, what would you choose? The answer is easy, Grip Pressure. Having the proper grip pressure, I feel is the most important element of the golf swing. If you hold club too tight, you loose complete feel for the golf swing and throws off your timing and tempo. Teaching the fundamentals, grip, stance, ball position and alignment are fairly easy, compared to teaching the proper grip pressure. I try to explain it by comparing it to holding a child’s hand crossing the street. You have control of it, he’s not going to run into the street, but you’re not hurting him.

Have you ever heard someone say. “I hit the ball great on the range, but cant take it to the course?” When you are on the range, there is no pressure, you have a basket of balls, there is no consequences. Basically, you are relaxed. Then we proceed to our game on the first tee. Out of bounds left, water right. We automatically tense up. And the first thing to tighten is your grip on the club. Once your hands get tight on the club that will lead to your arms, then shoulders, then your lower body. This tension throughout your body, greatly changes the flow of the golf swing and effects you’re timing and tempo. When timing and tempo is altered the release of the club will be altered leading to errant shots.

So what can I do to check my grip pressure? First, breath! Simple enough but good deep breathing reduces tension. Second, make a conscious effort to hold the club soft. You should be able to feel the club head at the end of the shaft. Third, try and stay in constant motion before swinging. You will never see a good player stand stagnant over the ball for any length of time. Waggle the club, keep your feet moving or hover the club above the ground. All of these will help reduce tension from creeping in.

EXPERT PAINTLESS DENT REMOVAL IN NAPLES

We are a top notch paintless dent removal company located in Naples, with over 26 years of experience providing high quality removal of door dings, dents, creases, and hail damage without utilizing body fillers or paint. Our revolutionary process eliminates the need to take your vehicle to a body shop, leaving it for several days, and costing you hundreds of dollars to get a minor ding or dent repaired.

With our dent removal process, the damaged area is removed by meticulously “hand-tooling” the panel back to its original shape. The factory finish remains intact, and the dents will never reappear, so give us a call today to set-up an appointment for your free estimate!
