QPRT

What is a QPRT?

A Qualified Personal Residence Trust or QPRT is an Irrevocable Trust specifically designed to take advantage of IRS rules to remove the value of the Grantor’s home from the taxable estate.

What is a QPRT’s Purpose?

A QPRT can freeze the value of the Grantor’s residence as of the transfer into the Trust. The home is given to the trust, but the Grantor retains the right to live in the home. This retained right makes the QPRT a Grantor Trust. The trust is designed to last a certain number of years, and, if the Grantor outlives this time, the home passes to the beneficiaries. Because the gift is of a future interest, the value of the gift is reduced. If successful, the real estate passes to the beneficiaries using a fraction of the Grantor’s exemption.

Kevin K.

I was referred to Peter after my divorce to put documents together to protect my assets. He suggested a number of documents that would help protect my children and their future. Also, he put together wills, power of attorney and living wills. I initially spoke with him on the phone, he took 30-40 minutes to understand my situation and explain the benefits of having such documents. After a week or two, I met with him in his office and signed the documents. Everything else was remote phone calls and emails. He re-explained these documents and what whom to share. I am in good hands.
