Appraise Helpful Hint

"Grantor Trust Valuations"

One of the ideas mentioned in our "Industry News" article this week is eliminating the use of grantor trusts as a method of transferring wealth. Whether this comes to fruition, only time will tell.

In the interim, our clients have the ability to produce grantor trust valuations with or without accruals in compliance with the stringent IRS regulations. If you would like more information, please CONTACT US.
