         Retirement plans such as assets from your individual retirement account, pension plan, profit sharing plan, stock bonus plan, 401(k) or 403(b) or life insurance policies, and

        Charitable Remainder Unitrust (CRUT) provides income to a named beneficiary during the donor's lifetime and then the remainder of the trust to a charitable cause.
