5 Individual creates a Charitable Lead Annuity Trust (CLAT) under Individual s Will or Revocable Trust Testamentary Non Grantor Charitable Lead Annuity Trust CLAT will be funded with property from Decedent s estate or revocable trust Preferably, the property will be in the form of an illiquid interest in a pass through discount vehicle; i.e. a limited partnership interest, etc. CLAT will pay a specific annuity amount to the charitable beneficiary for a specified number of years In this case study, charitable beneficiary will be the Decedent s Family Foundation Non charitable remainder beneficiary will be a Non GST Trust Use the Non GST Trust, as opposed to individuals, to provide for creditor protection, asset management control, asset consumption control, family law issues 9 After being funded, CLAT will sell Decedent s discount vehicle interests to a GST Trust under the estate administration exception to the private foundation excise tax rules for self dealing. The following requirements apply and administrator or executor of the Decedent s estate or trustee of Decedent s revocable trust to qualify for the estate administration exception: (See II H I. TR I(d) (I)(b)(3)) 1. Possesses a power of sale with respect to the property, or Has the power to reallocate the property to another beneficiary, or Is required to sell the property under the terms of pre existing option subject to which the property was received by the estate or revocable trust. 2. Such transaction is approved by the probate court having jurisdiction over the estate (or by another court having jurisdiction over the estate, trust (CLAT) or foundation) 3. Transaction occurs before the estate is terminated 4. Estate or Trust (CLAT) receives amount equal to/exceeds FMV of CLAT s interest in property 5. Estate or Trust (CLAT) receives asset at least as liquid as the asset it sold. 10 5
6 As part of the sale, the CLAT will receive a note from the GST Trust Note length will track the length of the charitable lead term Interest rate for the note will be the applicable AFR or such rate, when combined with note principal payments, will be sufficient to allow CLAT to make its annuity payments to Family Foundation CLAT will receive note payments from the GST Trust and will use the payments in order to make the annuity payments to the Family Foundation 11 Remainder beneficiary (Non GST Trust) will sell its remainder interest to the GST Trust for a note Will allow the CLAT to avoid the date of CLAT termination rule for determining value the denominator of the fraction in a generation skipping transfer Adjustment to CLAT spendthrift clause will be required At the end of the charitable lead term the remaining trust assets (i.e. primarily the note) are distributed to the GST Trust (which has purchased the remainder interest from the Non GST Trust) 12 6
7 Tax Results: Non Grantor CLAT is taxed as a separate entity Estate Tax value of the remainder interest is significantly less than value of CLAT assets at time of funding the CLAT Post death appreciation of assets in CLAT pass to remainder non charitable beneficiaries (GST Trust) and to the CLAT asset purchaser (GST Trust) without estate tax ramifications Decedent s estate receives an estate tax charitable deduction for value of private foundation s interest in CLAT Value of assets transferred to CLAT are subject to reduced estate tax or estate tax is eliminated (i.e. zeroed out CLAT ) 13 The information set forth in this outline should not be considered legal advice, because every fact pattern is unique.
