Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Qualified Personal Residence Trust (QPRT)?
A QPRT is an irrevocable trust that allows the transfer of a personal residence to beneficiaries at a discounted gift tax value while the grantor retains the right to live in the home for a specified term.
What are the benefits of establishing a QPRT?
A QPRT can significantly reduce gift and estate taxes by freezing the property’s value for tax purposes at the time of the transfer, allowing future appreciation to pass to heirs tax-free.
What happens if the grantor dies before the QPRT term ends?
If the grantor does not outlive the trust term, the property’s full market value is included in the taxable estate, and the intended tax benefits of the QPRT are not realized.
Can the grantor continue to live in the residence after the trust term?
Yes, but the grantor must pay fair market rent to the beneficiaries to avoid potential estate tax inclusion and maintain the integrity of the original gift.
