Having a revocable trust in place can help you avoid probate, which is the process a court takes to finalize your legal and financial matters after your death. Probate can be lengthy and expensive for your loved ones.
Upon the death of the second spouse, any assets in a credit shelter trust are passed to the beneficiaries estate tax-free. This is because the trust was funded with assets up to the exemption amount and any growth in those assets gets to pass without being subject to estate taxes.
The central idea of the credit shelter trust is to take full advantage of each spouses applicable exclusion amount. Federal tax law includes an unlimited marital deduction for transfers between spouses, so this technique is typically used for transfers to third parties such as the couples children.
For example, you might choose to leave your personal residence outside of your living trust while youre alive, or you might have a personal checking account that isnt titled to your trust. Having both a will and trust can ensure these assets are transferred to your designated beneficiaries as desired.
How Do I Terminate a Credit Shelter Trust? There are circumstances where if one spouse is deceased but the surviving spouse is still alive, the CST can be modified or terminated either by the trustee alone, by the trustee and all the beneficiaries, or by going to court.
