Hence you can have your turkeyand eat it too. One of these alternatives is the CharitableRemainder Trust. The trust known as a CRT allowsdonors to give up ownership of assets but they retain thebenefit to live off the income generated by the asset untila specified time when the remainder goes to an organizationsuch as SSA. When the trust is funded, the donor may geta significant tax deduction and the asset is removed fromthe donor's estate. A gift other than cash with anappreciated value can be sold by the trust with theavoidance of capital gains taxes. Before making any taxrelated decisions, please consult with your tax advisor.Contact Elaine Simmons, Advancement Director (892-2540, ext. 132) with any questions or for additionalinformation.Compliments of Hunter Charbonnet, Financial Advisor,Morgan Keegan & Co., Inc.The Band is the Blue Meanies
