HOW TO NOT FUND A TESTAMENTARY TRUST
MICHELE MOBLEY
Sponsored by CliftonLarsonAllen and Frost Bank
Changes in the tax law and family circumstances can mean that it is no longer desirable to fund a testamentary trust. For example, saving estate taxes using a Family Trust or Bypass Trust is no longer a concern for most families since the estate tax free amount is so high that the family will not owe estate taxes. Funding a Family Trust for one of these families thus serves no estate tax savings purpose, but rather can cause capital gains tax harm since assets in a Family Trust receive no step up in basis for capital gains tax purposes at the time the surviving spouse passes away. This presentation will discuss considerations and methods in not funding a testamentary trust, including using a distribution agreement, a family settlement agreement, a court order, or a private letter ruling. Michele A. Mobley practices in the area of estate planning. She received her B.A. degree, with honors, from Texas A&M University and her J.D. degree, with honors, from Duke University. She has been selected by her peers as a Best Lawyers in America, and as a Texas Super Lawyer in the area of estate planning and probate. Her practice encompasses a wide range of estate planning subjects, such as will drafting, trust drafting, estate and trust administration, estate tax, fiduciary income tax, business succession planning, charitable planning, advising non-profits, and fiduciary litigation for both plaintiffs and defendants. She has spoken to varied audiences on the subjects of limited liability companies, family limited partnerships, estate planning for the family business owner, planned giving techniques, donor advised funds, legal issues fund raisers face and planning for retirement assets, and executive compensation.
