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 Minnesota Qualified Personnel Residence Trust (PRT) is a legal estate planning tool that allows an individual to transfer their residence or vacation home to a trust while still residing in it for a specified term, typically two years or longer. This trust is specifically structured to help minimize estate taxes while ensuring the continued use and enjoyment of the property. The primary objective of a PRT is to reduce the value of a person's estate for estate tax purposes by removing the property from their taxable estate. By transferring the property to the trust, the individual is considered to have made a gift to their designated beneficiaries (usually family members) for the remainder interest in the property. The value of the gift is calculated based on the current value of the property and the length of the trust term. One key aspect of a Minnesota PRT is that the granter, or the person establishing the trust, retains the right to use and reside in the property until the end of the term. This allows for continued enjoyment of the property without worrying about changes in ownership or loss of control. However, after the term expires, the property is no longer included in the granter's estate. There are different types of Minnesota Parts to suit different estate planning goals and needs. One type is the One Term Holder, where the trust term is fixed for a specified duration, typically determined by the granter's expected life span or desired duration of use. This term is selected at the time of establishing the trust and cannot be changed. Another variation is the Multiple-Term PRT, which allows for multiple terms to be established with different durations for a trust, potentially serving various beneficiaries. This provides flexibility in estate planning, allowing the granter to distribute ownership and benefits of the property to different family members or loved ones over time. In summary, a Minnesota Qualified Personnel Residence Trust One Term Holder is a specific type of trust that allows the granter to transfer their residence or vacation home to a trust, reducing their taxable estate and potentially minimizing estate taxes. The granter retains the right to use and reside in the property during the trust term, and there are different types of Parts to fit varying estate planning needs.
