What Does Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT) Mean?

A charitable remainder trust (CRT) is a trust in which the beneficiaries receive income from it for a specific period of time. However, once that time runs out, the remaining assets of the trust are given to charity.

Like life in insurance, CRT's are used to reduce tax burdens.
