  2. Trustee invests and manages trust assets and makes annual payments to OU
  3. Remainder transferred back to you

Benefits

  • Property returned to donor at end of trust term
  • Professional management of assets during term of trust
  • Charitable income-tax deduction, but you are taxed on trust's annual income
