Credit-Shelter Trusts (sometimes called “Bypass Trusts”) are a common feature in married estate plans when estate taxation is a concern. While we cover credit-shelter trusts in our practice system training, most clients don’t need them, given that the federal estate tax exemption is still very high. Therefore, many subscribers may not use credit-shelter trusts regularly, and this webinar is designed to revisit how to bring them into the estate plan when necessary.
