Charitable lead trusts offer families a powerful strategy to dramatically reduce estate taxes while transferring appreciating assets to the next generation and supporting charitable causes simultaneously. By leveraging today’s low interest rate environment, a $10 million CLT could potentially transfer $3.7 million or more to family members while creating a taxable gift of only $528,700. However, families must carefully weigh the substantial benefits against significant risks, including asset underperformance, irrevocable structure, and complex administrative requirements.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act has fundamentally reshaped the landscape of itemized deductions, creating both new opportunities and challenges for taxpayers who want to maximize their tax savings. While the SALT deduction cap increases to $40,000 and new charitable giving options emerge, taxpayers also face a new 0.5% AGI floor on charitable deductions and limitations that effectively cap itemized deduction benefits at 35% for high earners starting in 2026. Success under the new law requires strategic multi-year planning, including bunching deductions in alternating years and carefully timing major deductible expenses to avoid new limitations while maximizing available benefits.

Whether you hold highly appreciated stocks, real estate, or other valuable assets, a CRT offers a strategic way to diversify your holdings, reduce your tax burden, and create a lasting philanthropic legacy.
