Protect Your Assets

An Example of How It Works
Georgia would like to support Stoneleigh-Burnham and provide for her children. Georgia received a windfall amount of income and needs a large income tax deduction to offset the income.
Following her advisor's recommendation, Georgia funds a grantor charitable lead annuity trust with assets valued at $1,000,000. Georgia's trust pays $70,000 (7 percent of the initial fair market value) to Stoneleigh-Burnham each year for 15 years, which will total $1,050,000. After that, the balance in the trust reverts back to Georgia. SHe receives an income tax charitable deduction of $854,311. Assuming the trust earns an average 6 percent annual rate of return, Georgia receives approximately $767,240 at the end of the trust term.
