Bypass Trust Case Study

While grantor trusts are commonly created as part of an estate plan, estate planners may inadvertently be creating income tax issues that trustees and tax preparers must deal with during the administration. When the grantor of a grantor trust dies, or the grantor trust status terminates during the life of the grantor, for the most part the tax consequences are well established. What is unclear is what happens if the grantor trust had an outstanding liability to the grantor at the death of the grantor. This paper addresses the issue and how it may be treated.

With the revocable living trust, Claire will be able to have her assets put in the trust, and in the future, if she becomes incapacitated, then her trustee can manage things for her, instead of her beneficiaries, or a guardian of the court. A revocable living trust will also allow upon death, privacy of Claire, her beneficiaries and her property. If the revocable trust is designed to become irrevocable upon death it will benefit the beneficiaries in ways that they can design and put several irrevocable trusts in place to protect them and other beneficiaries (Garber, 2017). Claire’s son John, could possibly contest this Living Trust since he is a beneficiary, however if the planner accurately followed State laws, physician assessment guidelines, and uses careful design, chances that John could successfully contest would be slim. John could also contest the Will or the Living Trust if he feels that her capacity level was not accurately assessed during the time of designing and signing the legal documents, hence the reason for witness testimonies along with their signatures to safeguard from such challenge (Garber,

The fact that an auditing firm would assist their clients with publishing an inadequate set of financial statements shows their willingness to violate laws and regulations (Sims & Brinkmann, 2003). According to the textbook, “Because trust is essential, even the appearance of an accountant’s honesty and integrity is important. The auditor, therefore, must not only be trustworthy, but he or she must also appear trustworthy” (Duska, Duska & Ragatz, 2011, p. 116). The majority of statements filed inadequately have a substantial impact on the credibility of the accounting profession as a whole. Sullivan (n.d.10) states that a CPA must possess a high level of trust, by applying professional judgment and enhancing the three trustworthy characteristics (ability, benevolence, and integrity) when resolving accounting ethics dilemmas (slide 3).
