I’m buying your book. Thank you for the video

[@CunninghamLegal]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@DeniseMiura]

Truly appreciate your videos, Jim. I understand the advantages of IDGTs. The major disadvantage I think is, a highly appreciating asset (such as real property) will NOT get a step up in basis upon thr grantor's death, since IDGT assets get to be excluded from grantor's estate. So the beneficiary are kinda screwed, in terms of inheriting a presumably much lower basis which means much higher potential capital gains, much lower potential depreciation expense if rented, to say nothing of significantly higher property taxes due to Prop 19. Is the ANY way out of this??

[@CunninghamLegal]

Sometimes. If the grantor of the IDGT retains the power swap property of equal value then it may be possible to mitigate this downside. When the grantor retains a “swap power” it’s usually best to have an Independent Trustee serve as trustee. Hope this helps!
