Beyond the GST of It: A Deeper Look at GST Trusts and the Automatic Allocation of GST Exemption to Lifetime Indirect Skip Transfers

In observance of Rosh Hashanah, September 23, 2025, the Council will be meeting one week earlier.
Understanding the rules governing Generation-Skipping Transfer (GST) trusts is critical for life insurance and estate planning professionals. This advanced course provides a practical, in-depth exploration of GST trusts, how automatic allocation of GST exemption applies to lifetime indirect skips, and how to navigate elections and reporting requirements properly. Through real-world examples and case studies, attendees will gain clarity on complex trust structures and tax rules that often cause confusion and costly mistakes in practice.
