A credit shelter trust is a trust that allows married couples to only be taxed on six percent of their estate for estates totalling less than $500,000.
According to experts, assets that are set up in this kind of trust can be used by a surviving spouse during their lifetime and then passed on to children in the event of the spouse’s death.
Trusts are a great way to ensure that your loved ones receive the assets that you intended without having to go through costly and time-consuming probate litigation.
