When an irrevocable trust sells an asset and realizes a gain, and those entire proceeds and gain is then distributed to the sole beneficiary before grantor death , does this mean that the irrevocable trusts must pay capital gains taxes. original purchase price $200k , value when trust created $400k , sold 2 years after trust formed for $400k , is the basis for capital gains $400k and therefor no capital gains tax?
The step up occurs from $200k to $400k because its in an irrevocable trust that the grantor no longer has control over. If the house sells for $0 more than the new basis $400k then there is $0 in capital gains.

Once the trust becomes irrevocable, does the beneficiaries need to vacate the main house. If not, then who will pay the annual municipality property tax, the trust or the beneficiaries/decendents?
Why would the beneficiaries need to vacate the house? One of the benefits they'd enjoy is the "privilege" of residing in the house. . And, the Trustees would be paying these costs. Once you get the principle of the thing, this is NOT "rocket science!!!" BOTTOM LINE: you retain control...without the liabilities.
can i add a home to irrevocable trust that still has mortgage on it? can i instruct the trust to pay the mortgage with a checking account that is also in the trust?
Good video. All my assets have beneficiaries or POD so only the house will cause probate. The current plan was to wait and have the surviving spouse put the home in a trust. The thought process was who knows if this is the “final” home or we will move so that would avoid extra steps. We assumed a revocable trust but I am trying to understand why the irrevocable trust is better. I get the Medicaid play but we have way too many other assets (house is less than 10% of net worth) for that to matter. Any other reasons to go irrevocable?
Thanks, Keith. The irrevocable trust may not be better in your circumstances. The best way to determine what tools should be used in your best estate plan is to meet with an experienced estate planning attorney and look at your planning needs and goals. Your attorney can help you understand what kind of plan will work best for you. I don't know what state you're in, but if you live in Ohio or Michigan one of our attorneys can help you.
Can you please tell me in the state of Tennessee where can I find a list of items that can be counted as deductions in an irrevocable trust as far as tax Returns Purposes
Sorry, but I am not licensed to practice law in California. I suggest that you reach out to a California attorney with that question. Thanks for watching though!
Cost for the trust? What ongoing fees? What about taxes, insurance, upkeep, utilities, etc? What happens if the trust does not pay those, especially taxes?
For this kind of trust, the tax liability may be MUCH less. And, if the trustees are properly chosen (like your family member or close friend), this is not likely to occur. Cost? Depends. If done by a lawyer, maybe a few hundred bucks. If YOU do it, virtually free....though the trustees would have to "keep on top" of things (like with regular meetings and the taking of minutes).
If I want to provide a home to my daughter to live in or draw rental income from after I’m gone is an irrevocable trust best? Don’t want her to lose it if she’s ever in bankruptcy.
