8 The Perfect Strategy for Uncertain Times 1. Design so that the client is fully secured in all years! 2. Transfer Tax Efficient (Gift, Estate & GST) 3. Income Tax Efficient 4. Use any type product! 5. Design Flexibility
9 1. Design to Secure Client In most if not all years If 9-year note Use cash value policy CSV + trust assets > Loan Balance The trustee can choose to repay the loan early. Ability to unwind the transaction = Clients can feel more comfortable entering into the transaction.
10 2. Transfer Tax Efficient Moves wealth to a dynasty trust without o Gift Taxes o Estate Taxes o GST taxes. The dynasty trust protects against repeat estate taxation. The plan is not dependent upon making a gift, it is a loan. It rides out whatever tax regimen we have in place. If the gift tax comes and goes, the strategy is unaffected. Grantor pays trust income taxes a free gift!
11 3. Income Tax Efficient Income tax free death benefit. Preserve gift/estate exemption for stepped up basis on second death.
12 4. Use any type product! A. Single life B. Survivorship C. UL/SUL i. Current Assumption ii. VUL iii. IUL D. Whole Life E. Term Note: Private Split $ (economic benefit regime) works best with Low CSV product Survivorship life or younger single life
13 5. Design Flexibility Reducing the Loan Private Financing & Gifts The Wait-and-See Gift Private Financing with Closely Held Assets Dual Spousal Lifetime Access Trusts

22 The Wait-and-See Gift
23 The Wait and See Gift Private Financing offers the opportunity to gift in the future. Clients have a substantial estate including a highly successful closely held business. They are uncomfortable using the increased exemption today. They are in excellent health and have been underwritten at preferred rates. They understand the benefits of Private Financing including locking in favorable AFRs today.

27 Private Financing with Closely Held Assets
28 Private Financing with Closely Held Assets Clients may want to fund a private financing transaction with closely held assets. The following discussion focuses on the use of Commercial real estate Closely held business interest Portfolio of marketable securities
29 Private Financing with Closely Held Assets Benefits Client may continue to manage the asset by retaining Voting shares in a corporation (transfer non-voting shares) General partnership interest in partnership (transfer limited partnership interests) Managing membership interest in an LLC (transfer non-managing membership interests) Client may be more comfortable with the closely held asset as an investment as opposed to being invested in the market Low valuations of the closely held asset may be available making the transaction more efficient as a wealth transfer vehicle.
30 Private Financing with Closely Held Assets Limitations The closely held asset may not have stable cash flow to pay premiums Since private financing liquidates principal to repay the loan, the loan will be repaid in kind, i.e. with the asset itself Qualified valuations will be needed for each in kind payment The loan must provide for sufficient interest (more below)

34 Private Financing with Closely Held Assets Low Valuations A Low Valuation Enhances the Planning Generally, if loan assets at low value, and those assets are used to repay the loan, any repayments will also be based on the low value. But what if the business or RE is sold prior to repayment of the loan for more than the original valuation? The trust recognizes a windfall. Note: Sale must not be imminent or part of a pre-arranged plan

36 Private Financing with Closely Held Assets: The Mechanics
37 Lend the Asset Directly? NO! Hard to Value Assets Most closely held business and real estate interests are hard to value. The value can be highly subjective. If the IRS successfully contests the valuation of the loaned closely held asset, then unexpected gift tax consequences to the donor. Exception: Portfolio of marketable securities is liquid and easily valued.
38 Private Financing with Closely Held Assets As an alternative to loaning the closely held asset (business or RE) directly Client lends cash to trust. Trust pays first premium or two. Trust purchases business or real estate interests (discounted). Wandry defined value clause (protects against valuation dispute with the IRS). If cash is not available
39 Dual Loan Closely Held Assets Client o Borrows funds from a bank. o Lends those funds to trust. Trust o Pays first (and possibly second) annual premium o Allows balance of loan proceeds to season for 6-18 months. o Trust purchases discounted assets (qualified appraisal) from client with balance of Loan 2 proceeds. o Trust now holds assets with sufficient cash flow to fund the life insurance. Client o Repays the bank loan with proceeds from sale of assets to Trust. o May be able to maintain the loan and invests the proceeds.
40 Private Financing with Illiquid Assets Dual Loan Funding of Life Insurance Prepared by Highland Capital Brokerage (Revised: 11/01/2017) Client Funds or Bank Loan Client (Grantor) Dynasty Trust 1 1. Borrows Funds from Bank (Loan 1) 2 2. Trust receives Loan 2 proceeds Or uses own funds and 3. Loan 2 proceeds fund insurance: 2. Lends those funds to Trust (Loan 2) a. Pay first premium. 4 3b 3a, c 3b. Client sells assets to Trust b. Purchases assets from Client. 4. Client repays bank loan (Loan 1) c. Asset cash flow funds premiums. Insurance Co. 5a 5. Upon death, 5b. Upon death, Client s estate repaid 5b a. Trust collects policy proceeds. Loan 2 proceeds plus accrued interest. b. Trust repays Loan 2 to Client s estate. Steps: 1. Loan 1: Client uses own funds or borrows funds from a bank (posts collateral as required by lender). 2. Loan 2: Client lends those funds to Dynasty Trust as a lifetime term loan with accrued interest. Loan proceeds plus investment earnings are sufficient for the Trust to a) Pay each annual premium and b) repay the loan plus accrued interest at the end of the loan term. 3. Trust: a. Pays first annual premium and allows balance of loan proceeds to season (to avoid step transaction), typically for less than 12 months. b. Purchases discounted assets from client (based on a qualified appraisal) with the balance of Loan 2 proceeds. c. Now holds assets with sufficient cash flow to fund the life insurance. 4. Client repays Loan 1 (the bank loan) with proceeds from sale of assets to Trust, typically within one year (depending upon 3a). 5. Upon death, Trust a. Collects the life insurance proceeds. b. Repays Loan 2 (including accrued interest). c. Retains the life insurance proceeds net of loan repayment. Note: Dynasty Trust is a defective grantor trust. As a result, Trust earnings are taxed to client (a free gift and GST transfer); deductible expenses, depreciation and other income tax items are reported on Client s tax return; gain is not recognized on sale of assets to Trust and annual increase in accrued loan interest is not taxed to client.
41 Private Financing with Closely Held Assets Considerations Make sure the structure is not part of a pre-arranged plan Make sure that the loan and the purchase are not so close together in time so that the step transaction doctrine could be applied That s why 1 or 2 premiums are paid before purchasing the closely held business interest Up to client s legal and tax advisors to determine Whether to engage in the transaction. The proper amount of time between transactions.
42 Private Financing with Closely Held Assets Considerations A Wandry or defined value clause may be used If the IRS successfully contests the valuation of the sale of closely held assets to the trust A defined value clause reallocates the amount of interests sold to match the purchase price
43 Private Financing with Closely Held Assets CAUTION: Low or No Cost Basis & Negative Capital Accounts Owners of closely held business interests and owners of commercial real estate frequently have low or no cost basis Note: This is especially true for owners of commercial real estate due to repeat 1031 exchanges and long term depreciation. Owners of commercial real estate frequently may even have negative capital accounts which amounts to negative cost basis. When low basis commercial real estate is transferred to an irrevocable trust, the opportunity to obtain a stepped up cost basis at death is at risk. Note: The stepped up cost basis at death wipes the slate clean relative to low cost basis and negative capital accounts.
44 Private Financing with Closely Held Assets CAUTION: Low or No Cost Basis & Negative Capital Accounts With vigilance, this risk may be minimized (but not eliminated). At a pre-determined date (prior to death), the low basis real estate is swapped out for cash (the ultimate high basis asset) or sold (the grantor pays the tax, diminishing the taxable estate). The low basis real estate would then be owned by the client at death and a stepped up cost basis would result. HOWEVER, if the client dies unexpectedly before the asset can be swapped out, then the low basis will be trapped in the trust and will be recognized sooner or later.
45 Dual Loan Private Financing is also A Superior Alternative to Commercial Premium Financing
