"Loan" an asset, then pass to family. It's called a charitable lead trust. You place assets in a trust for a number of years. You select the time frame. During that period, we receive income from the trust. You select the payout percentage. At the end of the trust, control of the assets passes to your family. Although you do not receive an income tax deduction, you are able to preserve your estate and minimize transfer taxes. This arrangement may be right for you if: You have assets you wish to pass to family, and you expect those assets to appreciate in the future. You have a taxable estate and wish to maximize your available exemptions.
