The EC Veterans Asset Protection Trust® (VAPT) is designed to hold a Veteran’s assets in order to qualify for future pension benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). It is a specially designed irrevocable trust that allows wartime veterans and their spouses to plan for their future care while protecting their property. This trust has both grantor and non-grantor subtrust options that were designed to comply with both VA qualification rules and the Internal Revenue Code.

Join ElderCounsel’s Law and Privacy Specialist, Jill Roamer, J.D., CIPP/US as she walks through a big-picture overview of VAPT design. She will then dive into the ElderDocx® drafting system to illustrate the various VAPT design options and how using the VAPT subtrusts can benefit your clients and their families which include:

• Why is one of the subtrusts a grantor trust for income tax purposes;
• Why would a client want the trust property to be included in the grantor’s estate at death; and
• The importance of retaining a power of appointment for beneficial capital gains treatment

Jill will also highlight the supporting documents to the VAPT document set so that you have a full picture of the resources the system provides you and your clients.

Who should attend this webinar? Attorneys interested in learning the legal technical aspects of elder law planning within the practical context of drafting documents.
