an estate planning tool commonly used to minimize the amount of estate tax paid on the combined assets of married couples
See Credit Shelter Trust.
Another name for the "B" part of an A-B living trust because the assets in this trust bypass federal estate taxes.
The Trust created to hold assets of a value equal to the decedent's estate tax exclusion amount, $2,000,000 in 2006-2008, for federal purposes, on such terms that those assets will "by-pass" further estate taxes when the initial beneficiary of the trust dies. (Same as "Credit Shelter Trust" and "B-Trust".)
See tax planning trust.
