Prepare a charitable remainder trust with this downloadable template for Canadian residents.

How a Charitable Remainder Trust works

A charitable remainder trust allows the donor to retain a life interest in property transferred into the trust but makes an irrevocable gift of the residual interest to a registered charity.

The charity then issues a donation receipt for the fair market value of the residual interest in the property at the time that the residual interest vests in the charity.

Key Provisions

• Tax Credit. The tax credit can be carried forward in whole or in part for up to five years.
• Capital Gains. All capital gains are allocated to the capital beneficiary, i.e. the charity, which is tax-exempt.
• Trust Income. The net income of the trust is paid to the income beneficiary (the settlor and their spouse, and/or whoever else the settlor may designate in the trust).
• Expenses. Trust expenses are paid from the trust income.
• Irrevocable Trust. This is an irrevocable trust.

Format and Legal Jurisdiction

The template is available in MS Word format and is fully customizable. This trust deed is governed by Canadian tax laws and is intended to be used only in Canada.

Download a free copy of the Last Will and Testament of Charles Darwin (1809-1882).

• Charles Darwin was an English naturalist who determined that all species of life on Earth descended and evolved from common ancestors, and proposed the scientific theory that this pattern of evolution resulted from a process that he called natural selection. He published his evidence for this theory in an 1859 book called On the Origin of Species.
• In modified form, Darwin's discovery is today the unifying theory of the life sciences, explaining the biodiversity found on our planet.
• Darwin is buried in Westminster Abbey, close to John Herschel and Isaac Newton, clearly exemplifying his status and importance as a scientist, and the esteem in which he was held in his own lifetime.

Enjoy reading this copy of the Last Will of the great English novelist, Charles Dickens (1812-1870).

• Charles Dickens was responsible for creating some of English literature's most iconic characters, including Ebenezer Scrooge, Oliver Twist, Fagin, David Copperfield, and Tiny Tim. He was the most popular writer of his day and remains one of the most popular of all time.
• Dickens' work touched upon many of the problems of Victorian London and often carried a message of social reform. Many of his novels were serialized in magazines.
• Unlike other authors who would complete an entire novel before serializing it, Dickens often created the episodes as they were being serialized. He would often end the episode with a cliffhanger situation which created an air of anticipation from his public as they awaited the next instalment.
• His work is still popular today, and his novels and short stories have never been out of print.
