1 Private Limited Collateral Assignment Split Dollar For: A. J. Montgomery/Nancy Montgomery Presented By: [Licensed user's name appears here]

2 Private Limited Collateral Assignment Split Dollar Preface Of all the strategies used by families for wealth preservation planning, Limited Collateral Assignment Split Dollar is one of the most efficient. With this arrangement, parents (referred to as " Sponsor") pay a substantial share of the premiums for a cash value life insurance policy insuring one (or both) of their lives. An irrevocable trust (referred to as " Recipient", or "trust") formed on behalf of children is typically the owner of the policy. Through use of a Split Dollar Agreement containing a limited collateral assignment, the Recipient assigns the Sponsor an interest in the policy equal to the Sponsor's aggregate premiums or the policy's cash values, if greater. (This means that none of the policy's cash values are the property of the Recipient -- a key to avoiding additional gift tax consequences associated with The Final Split Dollar Regulations (68 FR 54336) issued in September 23.) The trust is usually expected to pay a portion of the plan's premiums, and these payments are pegged to the IRS-approved Table 21 rates issued in IRS Notice In the accompanying presentation, gifts from the Sponsor are illustrated in order to offset the trust's schedule of payments. Normally any premium payment by the trust would result in taxable income to the Sponsor (Reg. Section (f)(2)(ii)); however, the accompanying illustration assumes that the trust is an intentionally defective, irrevocable, grantor trust in which the trust and the Sponsor are assumed to be a single income tax entity, and thus the Sponsor should not be taxed on the trust's payment to the plan. (IRC Secs. 671 and 675, Reg. Section (c), and Rev. Rul ) The main purpose of the arrangement is to provide the trust with access to inexpensive life insurance death benefits, keep the policy's death proceeds out of the Sponsor's estate, yet not have any portion of the policy's cash values constitute gifts to the trust. This strategy combines low cost coverage for the trust with an impressive array of cash values for the Sponsor, thus generating a program that should be financially compelling to both Sponsor and the trust. $2,k 1,5k 1,k 5k $2,k Cum.
