Ask A Question
How can I combine investments in a QOF with irrevocable grantor trusts?
How can this help my estate planning? Did the new regulations change anything regarding this combination?
Answers
The new regulations confirmed that you can transfer QOF interests to grantor trusts without an inclusion event. Regular gift tax consequences still apply. It's permissible to use grantor trusts in connection with QOF investments to leverage estate planning benefits.
