Ownership of Cooperative Apartments & Condominiums by Trust:

Originally held on Monday, October 30, 2017 | 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

 

 

  • This course presents an overview of changes in the Federal estate, gift and generation-skipping taxes, as well as a description of more common types of trusts and trends in transfer requests for permissions to transfer apartments to such trusts, including Grantor Trusts, Qualified Personal Residence Trusts, Spousal Lifetime Access Trusts and Dynasty Trusts. It covers the tax attributes of these trusts and why some trusts are more effective, as a result of recent tax changes and the current interest rate environment. It also discusses the role of counsel to Coop Boards in reviewing these requests and how practitioners can structure their trusts to increase the likelihood of approval.
