The trust is specifically designed to meet all of the requirements of Code Section 2503(c) which allows the gifts to the trust to be eligible for the grantor’s present interest gift tax exclusion, despite the fact that income and principal may be held in the trust until the beneficiary has attained age 21.

This is an irrevocable trust created by a grantor for the benefit of multiple minor beneficiaries. It is suitable to be used for the benefit of children or grandchildren. This version speaks to grandchildren, but children can be readily substituted without other modifications. Notably, this trust contains a Crummey right of withdrawal which is designed to give the beneficiaries a present interest in the trust which, in turn, allows the grantor to claim the present interest gift tax exclusion for gifts made to the trust. Unlike a Code Section 2503(c) trust, this Trust does not require that the trust property be distributed to the beneficiaries at age 21. The presence of the Crummey power makes a required distribution at age 21 unnecessary.
