How a Flip unitrust works
- You establish a charitable remainder unitrust with appreciated real estate.
- The property is then sold and the sale's proceeds are reinvested.
- The trust will provide you with income for the rest of your life.
- You receive a charitable deduction this year to offset your tax on the cash proceeds that you receive from the sale.
