Las Vegas Nevada Intentionally Defective Grantor Trust

Description
An intentionally defective grantor trust is an estate-planning tool that is used to freeze certain assets of an individual for estate tax purposes, but not for income tax purposes. It is created as a grantor trust with a loophole that allows the trustor to continue paying income taxes on certain trust assets, as income tax laws will not recognize that those assets have been transferred away from the individual.
Because the grantor must pay the taxes on all trust income annually, the assets in the trust are allowed to grow tax-free, and thereby avoid gift taxation for the grantor’s beneficiaries. Thus, it is a loophole used to reduce estate tax exposure. This form contains some alternate provisions that the user may modify to suit the particular desires and needs of the grantor.
