- Broadly, this paper addresses the ways trusts are modified and the effect of the generation skipping tax (“GST”). Narrowly, it focuses on the limitations associated with modifying trusts that are grandfathered from GST under Chapter 13, but its conclusions can extend to trusts exempt as a result of GST exemption allocation. Though much is written about modifying trusts through “decantings,” the conclusion of the author is that in certain situations a trustee’s ability to appoint or grant powers of appointment to beneficiaries offers a simpler and often safer meansof modifying trusts, without violating the constructive addition or other limitations that jeopardize grandfathered status or loss of exemption that has been allocated or that can be allocated in the future., Author, TRUSTEE GRANT OF POWER - A SIMPLER APPROACH TO MODIFYING GST EXEMPT TRUSTS –, 2016
