How It Works

  1. Create trust agreement stating terms of the trust (usually for a term of years), transfer cash or other property to trustee, and receive an income-tax deduction.

  3. Remainder transferred back to you.

Benefits

  • Annual gift to Mason.
  • Property returned to donor at end of trust term.
  • Professional management of assets during term of trust.
