Description

Estate planning with revocable trusts and their administration often presents significant challenges for fiduciaries and estate planning counsel. Estate planners must comply with state and local law and tax reporting requirements, evaluate tax elections, and consider trust modifications.

The interplay between grantor and nongrantor trust rules upon the grantor's death creates complexities and potential risks for estate planners. Typically, in a revocable trust, a grantor retains the power to revoke and amend the trust. As such, these trusts are subject to (1) IRC Section 676 applicable to grantor trusts; (2) trust property included in the estate under IRC Section 2038; and (3) transfers being considered incomplete gifts under Regs. Sec. 25.2511-2(c).

Estate planners must understand key tax and reporting areas applicable to revocable trusts, recognize the pitfalls to avoid, and implement effective planning upon the grantor's death.

Listen as Cliff A. Capdevielle, Director, Trusts and Estates Tax Services at MOBO Law, provides a thorough and practical guide to the characteristics of grantor trusts, revocation periods, possible tax impacts of post-mortem modifications, and the interplay with fiduciary income tax and Form 706.
