A charitable remainder unitrust is for you if ... You want to make a major gift to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra while retaining or increasing your income from the assets you contribute. You hold appreciated assets -- securities, a business, or investment real estate -- and want to avoid the capital gains cost of a sale. You want the income from your gift to be able to grow over time. You desire maximum flexibility in the operation of your gift: You want income paid to your beneficiary for a term of years instead of their lifetime. You want income to go to more than one beneficiary. You want the option of choosing the trustees of your gift plan. You want to donate an appreciating but temporarily illiquid asset to the CSO.
