Give it Twice Trust - Helping Children and Charity
You may be looking for a way to provide your children with income, while making a gift to your church or a United Methodist ministry. The Give it Twice Trust is a popular option that allows you to transfer your IRA at death to a term-of-years unitrust. The unitrust will pay income to your family for a number of years and then distribute the balance to charity.
