GST Tax Issue and General Power of Appointment Sample Clauses

GST Tax Issue and General Power of Appointment. [19] After the 1991 GC Trust was created, the Clairmonts discovered a potential tax issue with the 1991 GC Trust. In simple terms, as drafted, gifts by the Clairmonts to the GC Trust would be subject to the Generation Skipping Transfer Tax (“GST Tax”). (Tr. at 105). The Clairmonts were advised to add a “general power of appointment” for each grandchild in order to avoid the GST tax issue. (Tr. at 105). A general power of appointment would give each grandchild the power to direct through his/her will where his/her share of the trust assets would go if the grandchild died before receiving his/her entire share. (Tr. at 143). Including the general power of appointment language would allow any gifts to the trust to be exempt from the GST tax. (Tr. at 105). [20] As explained by attorney, Xxxxxxx Xxx, a “general power of appointment” does not need to be drafted so broadly as to give the holder/grandchild the power to give the assets to anyone he/she chooses. (Tr. at 144). A general power of appointment can be limited to giving the holder/grandchild only the power to appoint the assets to the creditors of his or estate and still qualify under the tax code as a “general power of appointment.” (Tr. at 144). Notably, this is how Xxxxxxx Xxx drafted the Retirement Trust (discussed below) to address the GST tax issue. (Tr. at 144). [21] There was no testimony at trial showing that Xxxxxx specifically discussed or explained the difference between a broad general power of appointment and a limited general power of appointment to the Clairmonts. Further, there was no explanation given by Xxxxxx why a limited general power of appointment was not used, as Xxxxxxx Xxx did in the Retirement Trust. Tellingly, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx did not understand that Xxxxxxx had the power to distribute the trust assets through his will. (Doc. #95, Dep. of Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx page 34, lines 13-14). Use of a limited general power of appointment would have fixed the GST tax issue while also being consistent with the Clairmonts’ intent to limit the possible beneficiaries of the trust to their grandchildren and lineal descendants.
