Charitable Lead Trusts
With a charitable lead trust, you pass assets to a trust that will make payments to the BSO for a term of years and then return the assets to your family at the end of the term. The lead trust is an exceptional way to transfer property to your children or other heirs at a minimal estate and gift tax cost.
