A Powerful Estate Planning Tool
An intentionally defective grantor trust (IDGT) is established for the benefit of your children or other descendants. It is called “defective” because it allows you to continue to pay taxes on the assets while giving them away. The grantor trust is a powerful instrument with several benefits, including:
- The value of the assets that are transferred to the trust are frozen and protected from creditors
- You do not have to pay gift taxes
- The recipients do not have to pay income taxes on the assets
- The assets are removed from your estate, allowing your heirs to enjoy lower estate taxes
- The income taxes that you pay will be deducted from your estate, reducing your estate tax burden further
- Upon death, the assets in the trust will pass directly to your heirs while avoiding probate and estate tax
An intentionally defective grantor trust is a highly sophisticated and complex legal instrument. As a Denver grantor trusts attorney, our lawyers can help you create a grantor trust that meets your financial needs.
