About the Seminar - Computer Based Audio ONLY programs (No Video) - DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR CLE BIG TICKET
Formula and defined value clauses are used in estate planning to attempt to fix the value of property transferred in a lifetime gift, testamentary transfer, or in a sale. These clauses are also frequently used in marital deduction and credit shelter trusts, and in GST allocations. Carefully drafted formula clauses can withstand IRS scrutiny and optimize tax outcomes for a client's estate. But the IRS has recently issued new guidance in this area and has become more aggressive in challenging formula clauses as not reflecting economic reality and understating the value of property transferred. This program will provide you with an in-depth discussion of the uses of formula clauses in trust and estate planning, recent regulatory and case law developments, and practical guidance in drafting clauses to avoid red flags and withstand IRS scrutiny.
