Charitable Lead Trust | Its Working & Terms

What is a Charitable Lead Trust?

A Charitable Lead Trust (CLT) is a type of trust in which people donate their assets to it for a specific time. The trust will make regular payments to a charity over that period. These payments can be fixed or variable as per the requirements of the CLT. 

It is also a way of reducing estate tax liability for the donor. Many donors follow this charity method to exempt their tax returns on their assets. This type of trust can be created by a person in their life or after their death through a legal will. 

Working of CLT (Charitable Lead Trust)

The working of a Charitable Lead Trust is pretty simple to understand. The donor donates the cash to a CLT which makes regular payments to a specific charity or multiple ones for a specific period. 

At the end of this period, the remaining assets in the trust are typically transferred to non-charitable beneficiaries, such as family members. These assets can also be transferred to the original donor at the end if they haven’t added any beneficiary.

Assets That Can Be Donated To CLT

A list of assets can be donated to CLT in terms of charity. Some of the common asset types are listed below:

• Cash
