    2. In the case of a trust funded with appreciated assets, the trust will then sell the assets tax-free.
    3. The trust is invested to pay income to you or any other trust beneficiaries you select based on a life, lives, a term of up to 20 years or a life plus a term of up to 20 years.
    4. You receive an income tax deduction in the year you transfer assets to the trust.
