Grantor Retained Trust
Grantor-retained trusts are irrevocable trusts created to reduce estate taxes. With each, the grantor receives some form of income from the trust for a set amount of years, and then the property is transferred to a beneficiary free of estate taxes. These trusts are used mostly by wealthy individuals to limit estate and gift taxes because they create these trusts with high-growth assets which do not incur taxes on the increased value of the assets during the life of the trust.
