This option involves the gifting of one's assets (rather than current income) and, in most cases, involves the counsel of a financial planner and/or an estate attorney. Such gifts include wil provisions, life insurance, charitable remainder trusts, charitable Lead trusts, and gifts of appreciated asset, such as real estate (farms and homes) or stock. Planned gifts may help avoid or minimize capital gains, estate or other taxes. Gifts of appreciated securities may offer you substantial tax advantages.
