Retained Life Estates
(Living in a Charitable Deduction)
How it works
 |
You transfer your residence, farm, or vacation home to Tufts University subject to a life estate. |
 |
You continue to live in the property for life or a specified term of years, while continuing to be responsible for all taxes and upkeep. |
 |
The property passes to Tufts when your life estate ends. |
Benefits
- You receive gift credit and an immediate income tax deduction for a portion of the appraised value of your property.
- You can terminate your life estate at any time and take an additional income tax deduction.
- You can have the satisfaction of making a significant gift now that benefits Tufts later.
