Defining Risk

Legal Issues with EstatesInurement / Undue influenceTax/AuditInvestment RiskFiduciary OversightEnvironmental Pushing the Envelope

Legal Issues with Estates

Irrevocable pledges against the estate

Do you always request special notice?

Where is the progress/distribution tracked?

Are you willing to go to court?

Inurement & Undue Influence

A benefit to the donor or the Community?

Donor’s ability to make decision?

Appropriate safeguards?

Tax and Audit Risks

Make sure that donors receive accurate 1099s and K-1s ASAP – Save time and calls

File all reports timely

What will the auditors ask?

What will the auditors say?

Investment Risk - CRTs

You are not at risk the same as with CGAs

CRUTs should never exhaust themselves

Hard to manage CRUT donor expectations

CRATs can and DO exhaust themselves

CRUTs vs. CRATS

CRUT pays a fixed percentage, re-calculated annually. This offers inflation protection

CRUT payout must allow a 10% charitable deduction

CRAT pay a fixed amount based on initial gift value.CRAT payout must have less than 5% chance of

exhaustion

The Perfect CRUT Story*

Resident donated appreciated bonds = $100K to an 8% CRUT in 1990

One year she received 8% of $92,000

One year she received 8% of $154,000

At her death in 2009, gift was $114,000 *Past performance no indicator of future results and the experience in one case is not representative of all cases

CRT Investment Considerations

Balance income to donors with future value to Community

Generally a 60/40 allocation is good

Other considerations (high payout or FLIP) may influence specific gift management

Investment Risk - CGAs

Is there a clear investment policy?

Are there state-specific requirements?

Do you meet all your states’ requirements?

It’s your $$ if contract zeroes out

How It’s Supposed to Work

ACGA model is 45/50/5

Expected return is 4.25%

Assumption of 1% for investment/admin

Rates project a 50% residuum
