Asset protection practitioners, their clients, and their client’s trustees need to understand how to properly fund and then administer an integrated estate planning trust (“IEPT”) on a day-to-day basis in order to assist with maintaining the plan’s integrity in the event the plan is ever challenged, whether in litigation or otherwise. In the second of his new 3-part series, Barry Engel covers the following topics: • federal and foreign tax compliance and reporting • anti-money laundering compliance • trustee and third-party due diligence • documenting property transfers • the differences between, and properly documenting, outright distributions and loans • the payment of taxes due on phantom income from an IEPT • whether real estate should be held in an integrated estate planning structure • advising on where in the overall structure title to property should be transferred • refinancing mortgages • suggestions on how to protect one’s professional practice or operating business as part of the overall integrated estate plan • the creation of additional trusts by already-existing IEPTs • annual meetings of trustees and advisors
