Click Here for Detailed Explanation

How It Works

You contribute cash, securities or other property to a trust.

The trust makes fixed annual payments to Eckerd College for a specified term of years.

When the trust ends, the remaining principal goes to your heirs.

Benefits

  • You qualify for a gift tax deduction for the present value of the annuity payments to Eckerd College.
  • You can adjust the annuity payments and the term of the trust to reduce or even eliminate the transfer taxes due when the principal reverts to your heirs.
  • All appreciation that takes place in the trust goes tax-free to your heirs.
  • You can use your available estate tax credit to further reduce taxes on transfers to your heirs.
  • You can have the satisfaction of making a significant gift to Eckerd College now that reduces the taxes due on transfers to your heirs later.
