Prepare a charitable remainder trust with this downloadable template for Canadian residents.

How a Charitable Remainder Trust works

A charitable remainder trust allows the donor to retain a life interest in property transferred into the trust but makes an irrevocable gift of the residual interest to a registered charity.

The charity then issues a donation receipt for the fair market value of the residual interest in the property at the time that the residual interest vests in the charity.

Key Provisions

• Tax Credit. The tax credit can be carried forward in whole or in part for up to five years.
• Capital Gains. All capital gains are allocated to the capital beneficiary, i.e. the charity, which is tax-exempt.
• Trust Income. The net income of the trust is paid to the income beneficiary (the settlor and their spouse, and/or whoever else the settlor may designate in the trust).
• Expenses. Trust expenses are paid from the trust income.
• Irrevocable Trust. This is an irrevocable trust.

Format and Legal Jurisdiction

The template is available in MS Word format and is fully customizable. This trust deed is governed by Canadian tax laws and is intended to be used only in Canada.
