Drafting Joint Revocable Trusts (including new Community Property Trusts) in InterActive Legal

All InterActive Legal drafting systems include a Joint Revocable Trust, which operates as one combined estate planning document for a married couple or unmarried partners.  As a revocable trust, this document also is intended for incapacity planning, and includes provisions for managing trust assets for the benefit of the grantors (and later the surviving grantor) during lifetime, as well as provisions for disposing of property at each spouse’s death.  Because this document includes the estate plan for two separate individuals, it includes some drafting options that differ from those in a standard (one-grantor) revocable trust or last will and testament.

Creating and Using Custom Profiles – the Best Drafting Tool in your Practice System

If you've listened in to any of the InterActive Legal training classes or previous subscriber drafting webinars, you may recall hearing someone say that creating custom profiles is the most efficient way to use the program. And this is accurate - the best tool in the program, regardless of which practice system you have, is the custom profile. But what exactly are profiles, and how can they be customized? How many can you have? Can you edit them? What happens when the program is updated? All of these questions - and more - will be answered in this hour-long session, in which we will create and use several custom profiles.

Revenue Ruling 2023-2: What it Means and What You Might Do

Do assets in an irrevocable grantor trust that are not included in the settlor’s estate qualify for an income tax basis step up on the death of the grantor? In 2002 Jonathan Blattmachr and Professor Mitchell Gans authored an article analyzing this matter. This issue seems to stir up as many opinions and strong emotional reactions today as it did when it was first published. After several powerful Senators wrote a letter to Janet Yellin, the IRS issued Revenue Ruling 2023-2 stating that, in the opinion of the Service there is no basis step up for assets in a grantor trust not included in the settlor’s estate. The IRS indicated that Code Section 1014 is inapplicable because there is no estate-tax inclusion and it is not a bequest under state law. While you might have heard strong opinions pro and con on this point, what does the law actually say?
