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

We are very proud of our team, our systems, and our dedication to providing the best and most appropriate legal services for all clients, whether big or small. Our lawyers meet together almost every morning to discuss and work together on cases, strategies and practice improvement projects in order to work the most efficiently and effectively for our clients. We like what we do and enjoy working together.
