Charitable Lead Trust

How It Works

	You contribute securities or other appreciating assets to a charitable lead trust.
	The trust makes annual payments to Penn Medicine for a period of time.
	When the trust terminates, the remaining principal is paid to your heirs.

Benefits

• The present value of the income payments to Penn Medicine reduces your gift/estate tax.

• All appreciation that takes place in the trust goes tax-free to your heirs.

• The amount and term of the payments to Penn Medicine can be set so as to reduce or even eliminate transfer taxes due when the principal reverts to your heirs.

• You have the satisfaction of making a significant gift to Penn Medicine now that reduces the taxes due on transfers to your heirs later.
