Deferring taxes legally is not new. Some commonly used tax deferral methods include 1031 exchanges, charitable trusts, and traditional seller carry-back installment sale contracts. Our Trust can be used with any kind of entity, e.g., LLC 's, S or C -election corporations, as well as individuals who own real estate, rental properties, vacation homes, commercial properties, hotels, land, industrial complexes, retail developments, and raw land, to name a few. Nothing is required to be given away to charity as happens with the competing strategy known as a Charitable Remainder Trust. Our Trust allows all due principal and accrued interest to be paid to the Seller/Taxpayer via a custom prepared installment sales agreement, whereas the Charitable Remainder Trust often pays income (interest) only. Our Trust has the potential and likelihood to yield more bottom line dollars to the property/capital asset Seller/Taxpayer than a Charitable Remainder Trust, and also has the ability to generate substantially more wealth over the long run than a direct and taxed sale. It may be superior to the Charitable Remainder Trust, installment sale or like-kind property exchange in many respects. Consult your tax advisor to ascertain the potential benefits of this option. There is also proper diversification by the Estate Planning Team trained and approved Trustee in investing the Trust funds. The Trust Trained and Approved Trustee may invest in REITs, bonds, annuities, securities or other prudent investments that are suitable to help assure the Trustees performance in repaying the Seller/Taxpayer pursuant to the held installment sales note. Our trained team and approved Trustees reinvestment of the proceeds may result in more or less risk depending on the nature of where the proceeds are reinvested. An inherent goal of the trust investment objective is simply to produce the cash flow necessary for the scheduled installment sales note payments to the Seller/Taxpayer.
