You are allowed to set up a charitable trust to transfer your assets to a charity after a pre-determined number of years or upon your death. This allows you to avoid paying capital gains tax while your assets appreciate in value and you enjoy the assets. It must be noted that the asset will be disposed to the charity upon your death, so your heirs may not stake a claim to this portion.
