ESTATE PLANNING COUNCIL OF RIVERSIDE COUNTY

The income taxation of trusts, estate, grantors, and beneficiaries (Subchapter J) is an odd backwater for estate planners because it is at once the tax that affects most estate plans, the one the government seems to ignore in the main, and (perhaps therefore) the one that we hardly ever teach or study. Fiduciary entities are subject to the highest income tax rates and enjoy the lowest exemptions, yet there are few "experts" among us and even less planning devoted to these realities. This session will focus first on the basics of Subchapter J and then delve a bit more into specifics of planning with intentionally defective grantor trusts, especially including the myths and hype surrounding them.  This is an intermediate/advanced program.
