Course Description

Charitable Lead Annuity Trusts (“CLATs”) constitute the most potent and best-fit estate and gift planning arrangement for many affluent taxpayers. The 100% of AGI charitable deduction that is available in 2020, the ability to withdraw money from an IRA and donate all of the amounts received to charity under the 100% of AGI rule, and possible reduction of the estate tax exemption in 2026 or sooner makes the determination of if and when to use a CLAT as opposed to other options or in conjunction therewith, an important decision.

Learning Objectives:


  • Determine how a lifetime CLAT can save both income and estate tax while benefitting a family-controlled or other charity in a flexible manner

  • Recall the numbers on CLATs, including the use of spreadsheets that will be shared with attendees as Excel file

  • Determine the advantages and disadvantages of a fixed annual payment, 20% per year increase, or Shark Fin CLAT

  • Determine when to use a grantor or non-grantor CLAT

  • Identify how CLATs work with other planning devices

  • Identify possible CLAT termination and directed charitable payments and remainder beneficiary rights
