State Taxation of a Trust

 

State taxation is important and something you should be thinking about when you are creating or administering trusts.

State taxation of trusts is often what clients really care about when thinking about the relationship of a trust to a state. The state taxation of trusts is important – to the grantor that is trying to pass on as much wealth as possible to the beneficiaries; to the beneficiaries that want access to the greatest amount of wealth; and to the trustee who is potentially trying to earn as much as they can on the trust income, and more importantly has a fiduciary obligation to its beneficiaries. This video reviews general rules of state taxation of trusts, statutes, and the constitutionality of state rules.
