Did you create your trust more than 10 years ago?

Many estate plans drafted years ago included mandatory A/B trust splits designed to minimize estate taxes. But with today’s much higher federal estate tax exemption, that structure may no longer make sense for many families.

In some cases, it can even create unnecessary taxes and administrative complexity.

A quick review of your estate plan can help ensure your trust still works for your goals today.

One overlooked issue in older marital trusts?
Loss of a step-up in basis.

When assets are split into an A/B trust structure, some assets may not receive a second step-up in basis when the surviving spouse passes away. That can leave heirs facing significant capital gains taxes they otherwise could have avoided.

Estate planning laws change over time — which is why periodic trust reviews are so important.

Estate Planning Myth:
“If my trust was set up properly years ago, I never need to revisit it.”

Reality:
Tax laws, family circumstances, and financial strategies change. Many trusts drafted when the estate tax exemption was $600K per person operate very differently in today’s environment where the exemption exceeds $15 million per person.

If it’s been a while since your plan was reviewed, it may be time for a quick check-in.

📅 A trust review today can prevent costly surprises later.

Mandatory A/B trust structures can sometimes create more work than expected.

Separate trusts often mean:
• Separate tax returns
• Additional accounting
• Additional legal oversight
• Higher trust tax rates

For some families, simplifying the structure can provide both financial and administrative relief.

Older marital trusts aren’t necessarily wrong — but they may need more flexibility.

While A/B trust planning can still serve important purposes in certain situations, many families benefit from modern estate plans that allow options based on tax law and family needs at the time.

Your estate plan should help your family inherit a legacy — not a burden.

Myth: A trustee has to handle everything alone.

Reality: Trustees are allowed—and encouraged—to work with professionals like attorneys, accountants, and financial advisors.

Being a trustee is about making informed decisions, not doing everything yourself.
