One easy way to terminate a life insurance trust, the grantor to stops making the premium payments, known as gifts, to the trust. If the grantor stops making payments to the trust, then the policy will lapse. This causes the purpose of the trust to be eliminated.
Thus, the trustee cannot terminate the GRAT before expiration of the term of the grantor's qualified interest by distributing to the grantor and the remainder beneficiaries the actuarial value of their term and remainder interests, respectively.
Is an irrevocable life insurance trust (ILIT) a grantor trust? A13. Usually, yes. Most ILITs are grantor trusts since these trust instruments typically provide that income may be applied toward the payment of premiums on policies insuring the grantor's life (or the grantor's spouse's life).
GRATs may provide payments for a term of years or for the life of the Grantor.
Trust-owned life insurance is a type of life insurance housed inside a trust. TOLI is commonly used by individuals as a tool for estate planning purposes. The assets bequeathed to beneficiaries that are housed within the trust can sidestep onerous tax obligations.
To implement this strategy, you zero out the grantor retained annuity trust by accepting combined payments that are equal to the entire value of the trust, including the anticipated appreciation. In theory, there would be nothing left for the beneficiary if the trust is really zeroed out.
Unlike many estate planning techniques, the client has significant access to GRAT assets and can substitute assets, change beneficiaries, and otherwise modify the GRAT to suit his or her changing needs. Accordingly, the GRAT is one of the most powerful wealth-shifting tools available for high net worth families.
The grantor can also establish an irrevocable life insurance trust (usually a separate trust) to provide liquidity to the heirs if the he/she dies during the term of the GRAT.
The annuity amount is paid to the grantor during the term of the GRAT, and any property remaining in the trust at the end of the GRAT term passes to the beneficiaries with no further gift tax consequences.
