Gift Planning
Testamentary Trusts
A TESTAMENTARY TRUST is written into a will or living
trusts and is set into motion by the Court after the process
reaches a certain point of execution. It is used only after
the death of the person whose estate it represents. It is possible
to use a testamentary trust to fund many of the deferred gift
options discussed elsewhere in these pages. In that manner,
the options are referred to as a testamentary charitable
gift annuity, a testamentary charitable remainder trust,
or a testamentary charitable lead trust.
