A trust is a fiduciary relationship in which one party, known as a trustor, gives another party, the trustee, the right to hold title to property or assets for the benefit of a third party, the beneficiary. Trusts are established to provide legal protection for the trustor’s assets, to make sure those assets are distributed according to the wishes of the trustor, and to save time, reduce paperwork and, in some cases, avoid or reduce inheritance or estate taxes. In finance, a trust can also be a type of closed-end fund built as a public limited company.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

A trust is a fiduciary relationship in which a trustor gives another party, known as the trustee, the right to hold title to property or assets for the benefit of a third party.
While they are generally associated with the idle rich, trusts are highly versatile instruments which can be used for a wide variety of purposes to achieve specific goals.
Each trust falls into six broad categories—living or testamentary, funded or unfunded, revocable or irrevocable. The most important piece of trust documentation will be the trust deed. This agreement is, essentially, what creates the trust. Outlined within the trust deed will be key pieces of information like what properties or assets will be held within the trust and who the beneficiaries are. A trust deed is not just a guideline or a suggestion: it is a contract binding all parties involved and is enforceable by law. In order to be officially considered a trust deed, your trust documentation should include all of the following information:

An official name for the trust
The name of the trustee
The objective of the trust
The country in which the trust is founded
The powers granted to the trustee, which might include adding beneficiaries or removing them

Requirements for a valid trust?

A trust must follow specific criteria to be recognized by a probate court as valid.

1. Grantor must have mental capacity. They must be of sound mind to actually create a trust. This will be inferred based on the circumstances and by reading the trust agreement itself.

2. Grantor must have present intent. They must actually intend to create a trust. A family trust must be in writing to be valid, so intent is usually evidenced by a written trust agreement. Certain magic words in the trust agreement infer/prove intent, like “the property specified in this trust agreement shall be held in trust.”

3. Property must actually be transferred to the trust. Generally, you have to actually transfer property when you create a trust. It can’t be a mere expectancy of property, like an expected inheritance. It has to be property you own right now. Transfer can be literal, like physically handing over a family heirloom. Or symbolic, like writing a grant deed for a house. Or constructive, like retitling property into the trust’s name.

4. You need a trustee. A trustee is appointed to control and manage the trust. They are not acting for their own interest. They are acting for the sole benefit of the beneficiary. They owe a fiduciary duty to the beneficiary.

5. You need a beneficiary. Specifically, an “ascertainable” beneficiary. That person must exist right now, not be theoretical. Beneficiaries don’t have to be humans. They can be corporations, associations, groups/classes of people, or humans. For family/living trusts, beneficiaries are usually humans.

6. The trust purpose must be valid. That basically means any lawful purpose. Pretty much anything not illegal is OK.

Developing QOZB and QOF dissolution plan.

Fixing the 10-year gain elimination problem for diversified funds.

The statute contains a well-known glitch under which, where a taxpayer (QOF Investor) makes an eligible investment in a QOF formed as a partnership (QOF Partnership), the elimination of the QOF Investor’s gain from holding his/her qualified investment
(a Qualified OZ Fund Interest) after 10 years is only available if the QOZ Investor sells his/her Qualified OZ Fund Interest in the QOF Partnership.
By contrast, it appeared that a QOZ Investor would be deprived of the gain elimination benefit if the QOF Partnership were instead to sell its assets after the 10-year hold period and dissolve.
The OZ Regs 2.0 have mostly corrected this glitch by allowing a QOF Investor to elect to eliminate from his/her taxable income any capital gain from the sale of good assets by the QOF Partnership that are allocated to him/her after the applicable 10-year hold period.
Note that by its terms this “fix” only applies to capital gain from the sale/disposition of good assets/Qualified Opportunity Zone Property.

The fix does not apply to either
(i) capital gain from sales of assets that are not good assets or
ii) ordinary income of a QOF, including “true” depreciation recapture (but not unrecaptured Section 1250 gain from the sale of depreciable real estate).

The Fund Manager will manage the receipt of proceeds received by the QOF from its QOZB investments.
The Fund Manager will also dissolve and liquidate the QOF and distribute sale proceeds out to the clients and their investors. IRS Reporting and Filing

The Fund Manager will prepare and file all business dissolution documents and final Federal business tax returns for the QOF.
The Fund Manager will prepare and file the final Form 8996 for the QOF and provide the Form 8997 information necessary for the Client and their investor

The most significant aspect of an opportunity zone investment is that after

10 years, the opportunity zone investor can elect to have their basis in their

QOF equity stepped up on the date the investment is sold or exchanged.

However, it will rarely be the case that the investor sells their QOF equity

interests directly. Instead, the most likely alternative will be for the QOF to

sell its equity interests in its QOZB or for the QOZB to sell assets and

liquidate sale proceeds to the QOF.

The Fund Manager will ensure proper deferral elections are made with respect to

the investments. (That is, only to the extent that the investment in the QOF is

Key Point to Understand

The Kairos Movement @allrights reserved 11

31-month Working Capital Safe Harbor Plan

Under that safe harbor, a QOZB’s working capital assets are treated as “reasonable in amount,” if the QOZB:

Has a written plan to deploy the working capital on developing a trade or business in an OZ,
Has a written schedule to do so within 31 months.
Follows its written plan and schedule in a manner that is “substantially consistent.”
A QOZB may benefit from multiple working capital safe harbors if it receives multiple tranches of capital.
The final regulations, as updated by the April 2020 correcting amendments, give a QOZB within a working capital safe harbor flexibility in meeting the requirements of the 70% asset test

The final regulations include a working capital safe harbor. Under that safe harbor, a QOZB’s working capital assets are treated as “reasonable in amount,” and therefore not NQFP, if the QOZB:
(1) has a written plan to deploy the working capital on developing a trade or business in an OZ,
(2) has a written schedule to do so within 31 months, and
(3) follows its written plan and schedule in a manner that is “substantially consistent.” A QOZB may benefit from multiple working capital safe harbors if it receives multiple tranches of capital.
The final regulations, as updated by the April 2020 correcting amendments, give a QOZB within a working capital safe harbor flexibility in meeting the requirements of the 70% asset test. (https://taxnews.ey.com/news/2021-1519-irs-corrects-opportunity-zone-regulations)
