Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
A trust that was under funded a dod. can it be funded at a later date. say 2 years later.
or is it under funded forever.
ie..... dad passed - his 706 should have had $600k funding at that time. (20 yrs ago) His 706 said $510k so 2-3 years later $90k was placed in his trust making it $600k fully funded so I thought.
The attorney for one of the beneficiaries is claiming the $90k does not count. And
it is a dod insult resulting in another $90k + interest should go into dads trust.. He then filed a 706 with an extra $400k moved over to dads bypass trust making it not taxable based on $90k + interest.
Then is his tax returns all wrong?
Does he own income tax.
And what about moms trust that was damaged by the $90k + interest. (per his will all new income went to her.
And moms trust is damaged first for the original $90k, now another $90k and interest she lost over the 20 years twice.
Is this correct?
The IRS just started an audit.
