An irrevocable trust in which a charitable organization receives income from trust assets over a specified period of time, after which assets are transferred to designated beneficiaries. This arrangement results in a current tax deduction and the ultimate passing of assets to beneficiaries at a value reduced by the charitable income accumulation.
Grantor Retained Annuity Trust (GRAT), GRUTS & GRITS
Irrevocable Trusts designed to enable the grantor to gift assets at a discount to the assets' market value as the grantor retains income, thus in effect gifting only a remainder interest in those assets.
A partnership in which parents often act as general partners, while the children are the limited partners. Partnership interests are gifted to children at a discount due to illiquid nature of assets and/or minority discount. A useful tool for reducing one's taxable estate.
An entity created by an individual to hold assets which would avoid probate upon the death of grantor. Trusts may also be established to provide for minor children or children with special needs.
