Grantor Trust Answer Book (LISI e-Book)

Overview

The Grantor Trust Answer Book is designed for practitioners who need quick and authoritative answers to questions concerning the grantor trust rules in the Internal Revenue Code. This book uses simple, straightforward language. The question and answer format, with its breadth of coverage, effectively conveys the complex subject matter of the grantor trust rules. In addition, the book provides an extensive index.

Here are some of the important features of the book:

• List of questions. A detailed list of questions follows the table of contents in front of the book in order to help the reader locate areas of immediate interest. This list provides both the question number and the page number on which it appears. A series of subheadings help to group and organize the questions by topic within each chapter.
• Question numbers. The questions are numbered consecutively within each chapter (e.g., Q 2:1, Q 2:2, Q 2:3).
• Index. At the back of the book is an index provided as an aid to locating specific information. All references are to question numbers rather than page numbers.
