This presentation will discuss naming a special type of charitable remainder trust (called a NIMCRUT) as the beneficiary of a traditional (non-Roth) IRA or qualified retirement plan. It will explain why doing that may avoid the ten-year payout requirement for IRAs and Plans. In other words, it will discuss how the CRT may allow the IRA owner or Plan Participant to regain the benefits of a long-term payout (called the "STRETCH"), which is no longer permitted for any beneficiary other than a surviving spouse (and certain disabled persons). It will explain why family members may ultimately receive more after-tax wealth using the CRT strategy than any other method of transferring interests in IRAs and Plans.
