Charitable Lead Trusts

If your goal is to provide an inheritance for your children, but you would also like to make a significant charitable gift through your estate, a charitable lead trust can help you satisfy both objectives. A charitable lead trust can provide a significant charitable gift through your estate and provide an inheritance to your children.

A charitable lead trust is a trust the estate owner establishes. The income from the trust flows to a charitable organization, like Arizona State University Foundation, typically for a stated number of years. After that period, the assets inside the trust are distributed.
