Learn how Crummey powers can be part of your estate planning toolbox.
Crummey powers can be included in any trust instrument governing a trust to which a settlor intends to make annual exclusion gifts. The trusts discussed in this white paper are irrevocable trusts designed to hold gifts and insurance policies. For the receipt of gifts, an irrevocable trust can be a separate taxpayer trust (a simple, straightforward trust to which irrevocable gifts are made) or an Intentionally Defective Grantor Trust under Internal Revenue Code §§ 671-677, the income of which is taxed to the grantor. The other type of trust that commonly uses Crummey powers is an Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust (usually a grantor trust) which holds an insurance policy on the life of the grantor, of which the grantor has no incidents of ownership (thus keeping the death benefit out of the grantor’s gross estate for estate tax purposes). Download this white paper to learn how these types of trusts are used in estate planning.
