Capital Gains Tax Bypassed
"For many years we supported Florida Southern, and when we learned that we could make a gift of appreciated stock to FSC while bypassing potential capital gains taxes, I was thrilled. I learned that after we transfer our portfolio to a charitable remainder trust, the trust would sell the stock tax-free.
It was reassuring to know that the trust would provide us with income for our retirement years, and if something happened to me, Gail would still be taken care of for the remainder of her life. When I heard that in addition to the other benefits, we would receive a charitable deduction for our gift, it was just icing on the cake!" -Peter
