No area of law practice has created more acronyms than estate planning. The following is a brief description of these irrevocable trusts.
CRAT – Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust – A trust where payments are made to an income beneficiary for a set term with the remainder going to charity. The income beneficiary, a private person(s), will receive at least an annual distribution of not less than five percent (5%) nor more than fifty percent (50%) of the initial net fair market value of the trust. The payments to the income beneficiary are a set amount.
CRUT – Charitable Remainder Unitrust – A trust where payments are made to an income beneficiary for a set term with the remainder going to charity. Instead of a fixed sum, the income beneficiary receives a fixed percentage of not less than five percent (5%) nor more than fifty percent (50%) of the initial net fair market value of the trust. The trust must be valued annually.
CLAT – Charitable Lead Annuity Trust – The reverse of a CRAT, where the charitable interest comes first and the charity gets the income for a set term and the grantor's heirs receive the remainder interest after the expiration of the term.
CLUT – Charitable Lead Unitrust – The reverse of a CRUT, where the charitable interest comes first and the charity gets the income for a set term and the grantor's heirs receive the remainder interest after the expiration of the term.
GRIT – Grantor Retained Interest Trust - An irrevocable gifting trust for high net worth individuals. There is a transfer of property to a trust for a specified period of years. The Grantor retains a qualified annuity interest or unitrust interest in the trust. When the trust term ends, the trust terminates and all of the assets are distributed to the beneficiaries.
GRAT – Grantor Retained Annuity Trust - An irrevocable split interest trust in which the grantor retains the right to receive an annuity with a set amount for a term of years with the balance remaining at the end going to designated beneficiaries.
GRUT – Grantor Retained Unitrust - the right to receive annual amounts that are a fixed percentage of the FMV of the trust determined annually.

I once again find myself personally spending a lot of time both

Hmm it seems like your blog ate my first comment (it was super long)
so I guess I'll just sum it up what I had written and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog.
I too am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to everything. Do you have any recommendations for first-time blog writers? I'd definitely appreciate it.

I have been browsing on-line greater than three hours today, but
I by no means found any interesting article like yours. It
is lovely value enough for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made
excellent content as you probably did, the
internet will probably be much more helpful than
ever before.

This would have been nice to see this earlier, as well as the people who
were responsible for it. In fact, when I phoned the Pentagon
to inquire whether the Air Force admitted it dispatched F-16s 10 of them
into the Texas skies near dexter missouri mobile homes on the
early evening of Jan.
