Thanks Diane - aside from potential lock ups due to litigation... do they also get more money this way? Thanks again for your response. Mike

100% True – unless there is very specific wording in the document which I have seen miserably attempted…..it makes so much more sense to make Qualified Plans directly payable to the organization or a CRT to avoid trust administration and potential lock ups due to litigation……….while conduit trusts for charities may still work, I can think of no case, off the top of my head on this Monday, of why I would advise my client to take that route 😉

As to RLT and Charitable Orgs, is it true that a Charity receives more if it receives the decedent's deferred income account from the Decedent's Deferred Plan rather than having the Trustee receive the funds net of taxes and then disbursing?  Thaks Mike Atkins
