Transfer taxes, such as the estate, gift, and generation-skipping transfer tax, create a drag on the accumulation of wealth over a family's generations. However, with the One Big Beautiful Bill's continuation of the high gift and estate tax exclusion amounts for the foreseeable future, advisers have the opportunity to create trusts that extend through the grandchildren's generation. This course examines the generation-skipping transfer (GST) tax and how it is designed to discourage avoidance of the estate and gift tax by families. Randy Gardner explores: GST tax terminology, how the GST tax is calculated, ways to avoid the GST tax, and how to design a dynasty trust to pass property from generation to generation.
