Attorney Catherine C. Orton recently drafted a “see-through” trust which permits an individual to protect his/her IRA or other employment benefit plan so their beneficiaries do not have the option of receiving it in a lump sum, which could be squandered. Instead, with the trust, following the death of the owner, the benefits are paid out to the beneficiary over the beneficiary’s lifetime, while still enjoying tax-free compounding.
