Christina Torres Capital Gains tax-Potential for using a trust?

However, depending on their Net worth - they may be required to pay an estate tax.The wealthy use trusts for various reasons.One reason is to decrease the tax liability of the "estate tax".The wealthy are required to pay an estate tax if their net worth(or gifting during their life) is above a certain threshold at passing(5.45Million in 2016) .The wealthy do this by transferring assets to a trust and only including in their estate the value of the assets transferred to the trust at the date of transfer.Example. if your parents transferred 5.45 million dollars of assets to a trust and the value of the assets increased to 10million; they would only include the 5.45 in the estate tax calculation.You need to make sure the trust is set up as an irrevocable trust(contact a lawyer on the type of trust that needs to be set up).Another talking point is that assets in a trust are at the discretion of the trustee until the assets are transferred to the beneficiary.
