Imagine If You Could Modify and Upgrade
Virtually Every Irrevocable Trust!

Whether you’re a CPA, financial advisor, life insurance agent or estate planning attorney, you inevitably run across clients who have an existing “Exemption Trust” (from their deceased spouse) or another Irrevocable Trust they’ve set up and they want to:

• Change the Trustee (or Successor Trustee)

• Change the beneficiaries

• Change their shares or how and when they will receive them

• Reduce federal and state income taxes on trust income

• Increase the asset protection for themselves or their beneficiaries

• Get a set-up in basis of the trust assets when they die

In the past, you’d probably tell that client, “Sorry, there’s nothing you can do because the trust is irrevocable and non-amendable!”  But now you’ve got a solution, called “decanting”.

You may have heard about this new, cutting-edge estate planning technique called “decanting” that can effectively amend or rewrite an existing irrevocable trust - - but what do you really know about it? 

There is no doubt that decanting, which is basically, pouring the assets of an existing trust into a new one, can be tremendously beneficial for you and your clients.

But, as with most estate and tax planning concepts, it’s important that you thoroughly understand it before that you recommend and implement it for your clients.
