Will With QDOT (Qualified Domestic Trust) (25 Pages)
This Will is a Form of Qualified Domestic Trust – to be used when the surviving spouse is not a United States citizen, but the marital deduction at the death of the first spouse to die is desired to be used. The general rule of taxation prohibits the use of the marital deduction if the surviving spouse is not a U.S. citizen. Code Section 2056A requires a series of special requirements to enable the use of the marital deduction in this situation, which requirements are incorporated in this document. Note that this trust is drafted from the viewpoint of the decedent’s husband being the survivor. Obviously, that can be modified.
