Charitable Remainder Trust 

You may be concerned about the high cost of capital gains tax with the sale of an appreciated asset. Perhaps you recently sold property and are looking for a way to save on taxes this year and plan for retirement. A charitable remainder trust might offer the solutions you need!

4. You receive an income tax deduction in the year you transfer assets to the trust.
