The following information applies only to Annuity agreements funded prior to October 18, 2006, which are still honored by the IRS.“Every company’s greatest assets are its customers, because without customers there is no company,” --Erwin FrandDuring our recent weakened economy, many businesses have seen declining revenues and declining budgets. Declining budgets often lead to reduced staff levels and diminished services. To me, this does not make sense.

Many big business marketers are returning to a “service sells” mentality, however, many sell gr PRIVATE ANNUITY TRUST: WHAT IS IT? A Private Annuity Trust works very similar to an Immediate Annuity, although you will use assets other than money to fund this Annuity. Typically, you transfer ownership of a home or land with high value to a Trust. The Trust agrees to make lifetime payments to you, and can then sell the asset you gave them and use the money to fund this Annuity agreement through investments. You cannot use other retirement funds such as a 401k to fund a Private Annuity Trust, but you can add multiple properties to increase your tax break and Annuity payment. If you decide to add an additional property to your Private Annuity Trust you must create a new Annuity agreement for each property, unless your original agreement contained a provision to include additional assets at a later date. Each new agreement will have a different deferral period which creates an added benefit to you by providing both immediate and long term income. The withdrawal period from a Private Annuity Trust must begin by age 70 ?, but you can always choose to receive payments sooner. When structuring a Private Annuity Trust, you must name a Trustee who will be responsible for controlling the investments of your assets in the Private Annuity Trust. The Trustee can be an adult child, relative, close friend, attorney, or anyone else other than you or your spouse. By law, the annuitant is not allowed to have any direct control over the investments of their Annuity. You may make council to the Trustee but cannot have any direct contact with the assets once they are transferred into the Private Annuity Trust, and your transfer of ownership is irrevocable. ASSETS TRANSFERRED TO A PRIVATE ANNUITY TRUST: HOW TO ESTIMATE THE ANNUITY PAYMENTS It is fairly easy to estimate what your Annuity payments will be for the asset transferred into a Private Annuity Trust.

The Annual Federal Mid-Term Rate (AFMR) effective when your property was transferred (this rate will be the rate used for the duration of your Annuity) 4. The length of time you defer payments Using these factors, the amount you will receive from an Annuity is a fixed amount and you cannot start and stop payments from a Private Annuity Trust. Once the withdrawal period begins you will continue to receive payments for life. The “life expectancy” factor is only used by the IRS to help determine what your payments should be and is not to be confused with a payment “cutoff” age. If you live beyond what the IRS factored as your life expectancy, you will continue to receive payments for life. JOINT ANNUITY FOR SPOUSE TO RECEIVE PAYMENTS Owning a joint annuity will allow your spouse to continue receiving Annuity payments should you die first.

The transfer of ownership of an asset to a Trust is “paid for” by the Annuity agreement. The IRS cannot accurately determine your life expectancy, and therefore cannot determine how many payments you will actually receive. Taxes will be deferred on the transfer until you start receiving payments, and a portion of your payment will be taxed based on your income amount. The transfer of ownership involving your assets is not considered a gift to the Trust because they are agreeing to pay you for the asset at a later date, and as a result you will not have to pay a gift tax. Once your asset is transferred to the Trust, it is removed from your taxable estate. This is of particular benefit to your beneficiaries who will not be held responsible for paying estate taxes when they receive excess funds from your Annuity. After your death it is the responsibility of the Trust to cover any unpaid taxes due on the assets.
