  2. Trustee invests and manages trust assets and makes payments to income beneficiaries you designate
  3. Remainder to Mercer for purposes you specify

Benefits

  • Federal income-tax deduction for the charitable remainder value of your interest
  • No capital-gain tax when trust property is sold
  • Trust remainder will provide generous support for Mercer
