On the other hand, if the retirement plan assets are directed to a charitable organization, the income will be realized by the RETIREMENT PLAN ASSETS charity, which is tax-exempt.

The nuances of estate pl anning for qualified retirement pl ans are inordinately complex. However, the fo llowing approaches are often used fo r testamentary transfers of qualified plan assets:

• Designating a charity as successor beneficiary. An individual may simply designate a chari ty as the successor beneficiary of a qualified retirement plan. Due to aspects of the minimum distribution rules that are beyond the scope of this article, it is often an effective strategy to name the charity as a contingent beneficiary. In addition, the donor may opt to split up hislher IRA into several separate plans, designating the proceeds of some planes) to heirs and other planes) to chari ty.

• Disclaimer: Another approach is to use a disclaimer. When the participant dies, the primary benefi ciary(ies) can make a "qualified disclaimer" of all rights that they had to the property so that the retirement plan assets can be distributed to the charity already selected as the contingent benefi ciary. Of course, this technique depends on ultimate execution by the prim ary beneficiary(ies) .

• TrusteelExecutor Direction. In addition to estate planning via qualified plan benefi ciary designation forms, many estate planners are also adding provisions to trusts and wills that specify the source of charitable bequests. For example, "To the extent possible, this charitable bequest shall be satisfi ed with assets deemed to be 'income in respect of a decedent' under IRC Section 691" or "instruct that all of my charitable gifts, bequests, and devises shall be m ade, to the extent possible, The Miller from property that constitutes 'income in respect of a decedent' as that term is defined in the Internal Revenue Professorship Code."
