Description

Establishing a Qualified Personal Residence Trust (QPRT) involves transferring the residence to a trust that names the persons who are to receive the residence at the end of the stated term, usually a child or children of the donor. The donor is the trustee and maintains control of the trust and the residence during the selected term. The donor is still considered the owner for income tax purposes. The donor continues to make mortgage payments, if any, and pays for property taxes, insurance and routine maintenance. As a result the donor gets to take the income tax deductions related to the property. He or she also receives the tax benefits associated with the sale of a principal residence. A Guam Qualified Personnel Residence Trust (PRT) One Term Holder is a specific type of trust created under Guam law that allows individuals to transfer their primary residence or vacation home into a trust while retaining the right to live in the property for a predetermined term. The PRT One Term Holder is a popular estate planning strategy for individuals who wish to reduce their estate tax liability, protect their assets, and avoid probate. The primary purpose of a Guam PRT One Term Holder is to transfer the ownership of a residence to the trust, thereby removing it from the individual's taxable estate. This allows the individual to potentially reduce their estate tax burden upon their death. The individual can designate themselves as the One Term Holder, meaning that they have the right to live in the residence for a specific term, typically between 10 and 20 years. During this term, the individual continues to be responsible for the expenses related to the residence, such as property taxes, insurance, and maintenance. At the end of the term, the residence passes to the remainder beneficiaries named in the trust. The remainder beneficiaries are usually the individual's children or other family members. By transferring the property to the trust, the individual can effectively freeze the value of the property at the time of the transfer for estate tax purposes. This can be particularly advantageous if the value of the property appreciates significantly during the term of the trust. There are different types of Guam Parts, including the Granter PRT and the Non-Grantor PRT. The Granter PRT allows the individual to retain certain control over the trust, such as the ability to change the terms or revoke the trust entirely. The Non-Grantor PRT, on the other hand, provides no such control to the individual and is often used when there is a desire to fully remove the property from the taxable estate. Using a Guam PRT One Term Holder can offer numerous benefits to individuals, including potential estate tax savings, asset protection, avoidance of probate, and preservation of family wealth. However, it is essential to consult with an experienced estate planning attorney to fully understand the implications and requirements of creating a Guam PRT One Term Holder and to ensure it aligns with your specific circumstances and goals.
