Charitable Remainder Trusts
20. Beneficiary Analysis: Without CRT
As we showed you earlier, if the Brodys sell the stock themselves, they would have $440,000 left to re-invest after paying the capital gains tax.
Then there will be estate taxes when they die. Assuming a 45% estate tax bracket, $198,000 will go to pay federal estate taxes,* leaving the Brody children with $242,000.
*There may be additional state death/inheritance taxes.
