Is a Gift Tax or Grantor’s Tax Assessed When Funding a Trust?

Generally, there is no taxable event when property is transferred to a self-funded (revocable) Living Trust.

But a person creating a Trust should not take this response to mean that a specific situation is not the exception to this rule — especially if some “creative funding” is implemented.

As such, Standard Legal suggests that anyone who plans to implement a Trust funding method that is not “common” should contact an attorney or accountant versed in taxation issues.
