Course Description

This course will describe how grantor trusts came about, all of the rules used to determine if a trust is or is not a grantor trust and how to determine grantor trust status. We will address multiple issues of planning with grantor trusts – from living trusts for many clients to sophisticated planning with Grantor Retained Interest Trusts (GRATs) and Intentionally Defective Grantor Trusts (IDGTs). The course will address the critical planning issues to be addressed in the coming months.

Learning Objectives

Upon completing this course, participants will be able to:

  • Gain an understanding of the grantor trust rules and how they determine how a person’s income will be taxed and how their estate tax issues must be considered.
  • Address a wide variety of tax planning techniques unique to the grantor trust
    • Learn how these techniques work and when best to use them.
