PLANNED GIVING Charitable Remainder Trusts
Trusts are an excellent alternative to giving through
your Will. They are particularly advantageous in a year when you
have incurred a significant capital gain or if you are concerned
about the possibility of a claim against your estate. A charitable
remainder trust is suitable for a person (or couple) over the age
of 65 and should not represent greater than one third of your estate.
How does it work?
You contribute a specific
amount or asset such as real property or securities
The trustee manages the funds
and reports to you and the Foundation
You receive the income from
the trust for your personal use
When you pass away, the capital
is transferred to the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation to
use as you direct
The gift is irrevocable
Benefits of establishing a Charitable Remainder
Trust with the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation
You receive the income for
your lifetime and/or life of another
You receive an immediate tax
receipt for the "present value"
Trusts are not subject to
probate
Trusts are completely private,
only you, your advisors, and the Foundation are involved
