Zeroed-out CLAT: charity gets annual payments, heirs get remainder gift-tax-free.
Fund a CLAT with an appreciating asset. Trust pays a fixed annuity to charity for a term of years (e.g. 15–20). If IRS §7520 rate assumption is low, structure a 'zeroed-out' CLAT — PV of charity payments = full gift value → $0 taxable gift. Remainder (all appreciation above §7520 rate) passes to heirs gift/estate-tax-free. Massive wealth transfer engine in low-rate environments.
