You must know and love the whole gambit: GRATs CRUTs SLATs QPRTs DAPTs and a host of others. For estate planning practitioners the abbreviated tag assigned to the trust says it all. That is when we refer to a trust as a GRAT or an ILIT we know from that reference pretty much what the trust is what it says and what it is intended to do but if you dont know what I am talking about or mistake an IDGT for an ILIT weve got a real problem.
