Applicable to seasonal or permanent Florida residents with out-of-state trust assets
Whether you’re a seasonal or permanent resident of Florida, there are significant tax advantages to domiciling your trust assets in Florida. Unlike other States, the State of Florida is “tax-friendly” to trusts that are domiciled in Florida, because it
doesn’t impose income, estate, gift, intangibles, or generation-skipping transfer (GST) taxes.1
Accumulated state income tax savings over 25 years—the amount that a $10 million trust would retain if domiciled in Florida, where there is no state income tax.
Florida also offers several opportunities to protect your family’s assets from creditors, including:
- Dynasty trusts that continue for up to 360 years
- Protection of your Florida home, cash surrender value of a life insurance policy, and proceeds of annuity contracts.
- Beneficiary and participant benefits of an employer-sponsored retirement plan
(e.g., 401(k) Plans, 403(b) Plans, Defined Benefit Plans, or Profit-Sharing Plans)
