Question 1
Moses is an alumnus of Rice University. He has fond memories of the years he spent there, since that is where he met his late wife Victoria. Although he has acquired substantial assets, he still needs to live off the income. As such, what would be the best method for Moses to make a charitable contribution to his alma mater?
Correct In a charitable remainder annuity trust (CRAT), the noncharitable beneficiary receives a certain amount of income for a term before the remainder is given to the charity. Here, Moses still has a need for the income generated from his assets. As such, a CRAT will give him the income he needs during his lifetime and the remainder will pass to Rice after his death.

Plus, he wants to receive the money for 25 years. Which of his requirements are permissible?

Correct The settlor has the option to receive income first, then principal to the charity or visa versa. Here, since Moses still has a need for income from the property, it would be wise for him to receive income first before leaving the assets to the university at his death.

Correct In a charitable lead unitrust (CLUT), the charity is the initial recipient of the annual payments. Afterwards, the noncharitable beneficiaries receive the trust's principal. Here, Moses has no need for the income from the property and his main goal is to leave the assets to his children and grandchildren. Accordingly, a CLUT is the most effective way to accomplish this.
