By Conrad Teitell, LL.B., LL.M.
Even if you're not subject to the estate tax (less than one-tenth of 1 percent of people are), there are ways to get tax benefits right now for assets that don't go to charity until the end of life. Charitable life income plans pay you and/or another beneficiary life income with an eventual gift to charity.
