Program Overview
This webinar serves as an introduction to the most sophisticated charitable giving vehicle: the elusive charitable lead trust. Now is the perfect storm of opportunity to talk to your high-net-worth clients about the benefits of creating the nonreversionary-nongrantor version of charitable lead trusts. The currently low charitable mid-term federal rates, plus assets that may be temporarily valued at depressed levels combined with the 2011-2012 $5 million gift tax exemption make this a perfect time for clients to include these sophisticated charitable gift vehicles in their plans.
Attendees will learn:
Why now is the perfect storm of opportunity to discuss charitable lead trust with high-net-worth clients
The elements to design an effective charitable lead trust
Case studies of how well this gift vehicle works to meet both your clients' philanthropic and tax planning needs
