Beyond "I Do": Georgia QTIP Trusts Secure Your Spouse & Legacy.

Planning for the future can be complex, especially when considering how to provide for your spouse while also ensuring your assets pass to your chosen beneficiaries. Here in Georgia, a Qualified Terminable Interest Trust (QTIP) offers a powerful solution, balancing these important goals.

What is a QTIP Trust?

Imagine a trust designed to give your surviving spouse income for their lifetime, while you maintain control over who ultimately inherits the remaining assets. That's essentially what a QTIP trust achieves. It's a specialized estate planning tool that allows you to provide for your spouse's financial security while safeguarding your legacy.

The Benefits of a QTIP Trust:

• Spousal Support: Your surviving spouse receives income from the trust for their lifetime, ensuring their financial well-being.

• Control Over Assets: You decide who inherits the trust's assets after your spouse's death, such as children from a previous marriage or other designated beneficiaries.

• Estate Tax Benefits: A properly structured QTIP trust can help minimize estate taxes, potentially saving your heirs significant amounts.

• Protection from Creditors: The trust assets can be protected from your spouse's creditors.

• Flexibility: While your spouse is alive, they are entitled to the income, but they cannot access the principal of the trust.
