Spousal Lifetime Access Trusts and Spousal Lifetime Access Non-Grantor Trusts are two popular irrevocable trust planning techniques. For many clients, they permit the efficient use of applicable exclusion amounts during their lifetime while preserving flexibility-something not always associated with irrevocable trust planning. Learn the foundational tax concepts supporting SLATs and SLANTs, compare and contrast their design features and functionality, and explore how to “live” with trust structures once established. The speakers also discuss a variety of irrevocable trust planning “odds and ends” related to the practical application of these techniques, and close by fielding questions.
