Frequently Asked Questions

A charitable trust is a legal arrangement where assets are placed into a trust to benefit a charitable organization or cause. Charitable trusts are often used for estate planning and tax benefits. In Ohio, they must meet specific legal requirements to ensure they are recognized as charitable by the state and federal government.
The two main types of charitable trusts in Ohio are the charitable remainder trust (CRT) and the charitable lead trust (CLT). CRTs allow the donor to retain income from the trust for a set period before the remainder is given to charity. CLTs provide a charity with income from the trust for a set period before the remaining assets are passed to the donor’s beneficiaries.
Charitable trusts offer several tax benefits, including income tax deductions for charitable donations and potential federal estate tax benefits. Note: Ohio has no state estate tax (repealed January 1, 2013). Charitable trusts can reduce federal taxable estates, helping individuals pass on more of their wealth to loved ones while supporting charitable causes.
A charitable trust can play a significant role in estate planning by allowing you to support a cause you care about while potentially reducing estate taxes. By designating a charitable organization as a beneficiary, you can leave a legacy, and the charitable donations may be deductible, reducing your estate’s overall tax burden.
