Gift Planning
Capital Gains Tax Bypassed

Peter and Gail were nearing retirement. Over the years, with the help of their financial advisor, they made solid investments in securities and built a sizable portfolio. While their investments increased substantially in value, their potential capital gains tax bill was rising. Now with retirement on the horizon, they were looking for a way to sell their highly appreciated stock, generate income for their future and avoid paying high capital gains taxes.
Peter:
For many years we had supported Boys Home, our favorite charity. The
Development Department sent us an e-mail that explained how we could make a
gift of appreciated stock to Boys Home while bypassing potential capital
gains taxes. I was thrilled to learn that after we transferred our
portfolio to a charitable remainder trust, the trust would sell the stock
tax-free.
Gail:
I liked the fact that the trust would provide us with income for our
retirement years. If something happened to Peter, I would still be taken
care of for the remainder of my life.
Peter and Gail decided to make a gift of their appreciated stock to establish a charitable remainder unitrust. They were thrilled at the prospect of creating future income while bypassing capital gains tax and establishing an endowment gift of scholarships to Boys Home
Peter: When I heard that in addition to the other benefits, we would receive a charitable deduction for our gift, it was just icing on the cake! I wonder why everyone nearing retirement doesn't set up a charitable trust.
