Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Re: Trusts

QTIP refers to Qualified Terminal Interest Provision. ABC trust is simply a trust utilized by the very wealthy to use both the spousal exemption and the QTI provision to both prevent any estate tax on the death of the first spouse and still preserve the estate tax exemption of the first spouse.

My book on the subject will be available on Amazon in two weeks. It's written in simple english and covers this an many other important things that everyone should know about planning for the eventuality of death and the probability of incapacity.
