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.
Who pays taxes on credit shelter trust?
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.
Is a credit shelter trust a complex trust?
When the surviving spouse dies, any remaining principal can be distributed to children or remain in trust for their benefit, as you direct. Even though the surviving spouse has access to income (and principal, if needed), the assets in the credit shelter trust are not considered part of the survivors taxable estate.
What are the disadvantages of a credit shelter trust?
This type of Credit Shelter Trust is known as a Complex trust as it allows for the accumulation of income rather than required distributions. Note the options presented to the trustee(s): If the spouse needs all of the income, he/she/they can get it.
Why use a credit shelter trust?
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.
