An Advancement Declaration of Gift Intended or Not Intended as Advancement is a document that is used to clarify whether a gift is intended as an advancement or not. This document is typically used when a parent, grandparent, or other family member makes a gift to a child or family member. It states whether the gift is intended to be used for the benefit of the recipient, or whether it is intended to be held in trust for the recipient and used as an advancement on a future inheritance. There are two types of Advancement Declaration of Gift Intended or Not Intended as Advancement: Intended Advancement and Not Intended Advancement. An Intended Advancement Declaration of Gift states that the gift is intended to be used for the benefit of the recipient right away, and is not intended to be held in trust for a future inheritance. A Not Intended Advancement Declaration of Gift states that the gift is intended to be held in trust for the recipient and used as an advancement on a future inheritance.
