Revocable Living Trusts are not subject to probate. They remain private and avoid public scrutiny. When you pass away, a trust will save time, expense, publicity and frustration for those you love. Trusts also assure seamless administration of your assets at your death or in the event you become incapacitated. 

 

A Charitable Remainder Trust enables you to contribute to Cancer Support Community of Greater St. Louis and receive guaranteed payments for life or a period of years through a trust designed by you with the help of your lawyer. Payments may either be a fixed amount or a fixed percentage of the trust assets. A Charitable Reminder Trust offers gift, estate and income tax benefits. 

 

The reverse of a Charitable Remainder Trust, a Charitable Lead Trust will pay Cancer Support Community income during your life, someone else’s life, or for a fixed number of years. Your beneficiaries will receive the remainder. You will be able to design the trust to fit your particular needs. Charitable Lead Trust assets are not taxable in your estate when you pass away, thereby providing valuable income, gift and estate tax benefits.
