Intentionally Defective Grantor Trusts
Manage episode 373958731 series 2284404
On this episode of Your Life Simplified, Valerie Escobar, senior wealth advisor, and Jake Kern, managing director and senior wealth advisor, discuss the powerful strategy of Intentionally Defective Grantor Trusts (IDGTs) and how they can benefit you. An IDGT is a trust that is intentionally drafted to be "defective" for income tax purposes. This allows the grantor of the trust to transfer assets to the trust without triggering gift or estate taxes. The grantor also pays the income tax on the trust's income, thus reducing the value of the grantor's estate. One of the key benefits of an IDGT is that it can help you transfer assets to future generations with minimal tax liability. Since the grantor pays the income tax on the trust's income, the assets in the trust can grow tax-free, increasing the value of the trust's assets over time.
