Are you planning to efficiently transfer appreciable assets like family businesses or real estate? Consider Intentionally Defective Grantor Trusts (IDGTs). These trusts permit tax-free asset growth while the grantor covers income taxes, effectively reducing estate size. By exchanging assets for a promissory note with an IDGT, you can ensure their appreciation outside your estate, as the trust manages the note repayment using business income. #estateplanning #trusts #financialplanning #taxplanning #familybusiness #realestate #assettransfer #IDGTs
